Praise for The Golem of Hollywood An extraordinary work of detection, suspense, and supernatural mystery. I spent three days totally lost in the world Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman have created. This is brilliant, page-turning fiction with mythic underpinnings that give it a special resonance; a rare collaboration where the sum is truly greater than the parts. The book is like nothing I ve ever read before. It sort of took my breath away. Stephen King One of the many things I enjoy about anticipating something is having my expectations met and exceeded the Kellermans met my expectations and blew the roof off of them. The Golem of Hollywood transcends genre. It s a whole that exceeds the sum of its very considerable parts, creative and otherwise. It s a religious tale that doubters and non-believers will love, a mystery that literary snobs will appreciate, and a story so wonderfully told that your bookshelf must have it. Once you finish reading it, of course. BookReporter.com Two masters of psychological suspense weave a sprawling contemporary whodunit steeped in religious mythology, gruesome violence, and the supernatural this is a witty, propulsive and frequently chilling read; its phantasmagorical elements are blended seamlessly enough with its up-to-the-minute crime-genre trappings to give its imaginative speculations some eerie plausibility. Any mystery that leaves you as satisfied with its lingering questions as it does with its solutions is worth your patronage. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Combining the procedural structure of Jonathan Kellerman s Alex Delaware novels with the character-driven plotting of son Jesse s fiction, the novel is a solidly plotted thriller that takes its compelling lead character, Detective Lev, deep into some Old World mysteries. Very nicely done. Booklist Astonishing more complex and deeper book than I have read from either author. ReadMeDeadly.com
