In the Holy Land, a series of gruesome murders targeting ultra-orthodox Hasidim sends shockwaves through the community. While initially assumed to be nationalistically motivated, Chief Inspector Detective David Levy and his elite team suspect otherwise, noting distinct and unusual characteristics in the killings. As the murder rate accelerates, the team races against time to bring the perpetrator to justice, their determination unwavering in the face of mounting pressure. Intuition and a commitment to uncovering the truth lead the investigators down a winding path, tracing back to the horrors of the Holocaust and the infamous Treblinka concentration camp. Delving into the chaotic period preceding the establishment of the State of Israel, David Levy and his team face the daunting task of proving their case in an era where evidence and witnesses are scarce.

As the team endeavours to understand the mind of a depraved killer, they embark on a heart-wrenching journey filled with surprising twists and turns, leading to an unexpected and shocking resolution. Set against the backdrop of Israeli society’s complex tapestry of social, cultural, religious, and political divisions, this suspense-filled narrative illuminates the challenges faced by the investigators in their relentless pursuit of justice. The clash of ideologies and the weight of history add depth to this gripping tale, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the final, astonishing revelation.
