In the summer of 1920, four heirs from opposing worlds —a New York gangster, a French officer, a builder of the Promised Land and a Bolshevik— are invited to claim the inheritance of their uncle, an eccentric Polish rabbi. After ignoring the invitation, they end up in war-torn Poland and search for a mysterious treasure.
The novel belongs to the Folio Policier collection and was originally published in 1998; the present paperback edition is from 2001.
For readers of historical crime fiction, enigmatic inheritances and ensemble narratives.
