Summary
1977. David Starkman returns from self-imposed exile in Canada to his native Israel after learning of the murder of his war hero father, Isser. Isser's will includes an unusual provision - that within 45 days, a controversial play he'd written,… 'The Debba', be staged. David, who once belonged to an elite Israeli army unit, decides to fulfill his father's request, while searching for clues to solve the murder. Some strong language, some descriptions of sex, and some descriptions of violence. Winner of the 2011 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Crime Novel. 2010.
