Lineup

The English-language debut by best-selling Israeli author Liad Shoham. A brutal rape disturbs a quiet neighborhood in Tel Aviv, leaving the police baffled and without clues, eyewitnesses, or suspects. The victim's father, however, refuses to give up his search for justice and begins his own investigation. He identifies Ziv Nevo as the culprit and all circumstances point to his guilt - as does the victim.
But appearances can be deceiving and as veteran investigator Eli Nahum becomes increasingly frustrated by Nevo's silence during interrogation, lines are crossed and values betrayed.
Into this whirlwind of events several other characters are drawn: an idealistic young district attorney, a mafia boss' right-hand man, and an ambitious reporter chasing the scoop of a lifetime.
Liad Shoham is an Israeli writer and attorney who lives in Tel Aviv. His books are realistic depictions of Israel's criminal justice system, as the police and the courts themselves are reflections of the country's society. All his crime novels, five to date, have been critically acclaimed best sellers.
