Jerusalem Ghosts

“What can be better than a well-written mystery? A well-written mystery that takes place in the city of Jerusalem over two thousand years ago! From its first pages, you will feel mesmerized by this new book by Rabbi Martin Cohen. A must-read for everyone who loves mysteries!”


—Manes Kogan, Hillcrest Jewish Center





“A clever detective, a bizarre murder, and puzzling clues—all placed in an expertly researched ancient Jerusalem . . . I highly recommend Cohen’s new novel.”


—Richard Zimler, author of The Warsaw Anagrams





“Ever since Cain killed Abel, people have been covering up the evidence of their murderous crimes. In Jerusalem Ghosts, Martin Cohen has written an exciting, intrigue-filled page-turner that plays on this ancient human theme in fascinating ways I didn’t expect. Cohen takes a complex and bloody aspect of ancient Jewish and biblical history and turns it into an old-fashioned murder mystery featuring an incredible sleuth. A great, sophisticated read that’s pure fun!”


—Dan Ornstein, author of Cain v. Abel: A Jewish Courtroom Drama





“Martin Cohen’s Jerusalem Ghosts is an incredible weave of a modern whodunit with a detailed knowledge and appreciation of ancient Israel. This is a prodigious achievement, simultaneously entertaining and informative. The reader can only lament that, no matter how much the world changes, some things remain the same, one of the revelations of this enjoyable read.”


—Benjamin Segal, author of The Book of Ruth: Paradise Gained and Lost
