by Liad Shoham
A brutal rape in a quiet Tel Aviv neighborhood has the police baffled. There are no witnesses, suspects, or clues, until the victim's father steps in and finds overwhelming evidence pointing to Ziv Nevo.
Veteran detective Eli Nahum questions Nevo, but can't get anything out of him. That's because Nevo has a secret. He works for the mafia, and telling the truth about why he was near the crime scene could get him killed.
Lineup focuses on these two men, detective and suspect, as they both end up betraying what they value most, fighting for their lives, and struggling make amends for their mistakes in this gritty, fast-paced, complex novel of suspense.
"Starred Review. [A] brilliantly constructed crime thriller." - Publishers Weekly
"Michael Connelly fans will appreciate this American debut by a best-selling Israeli author." - Booklist
"Starred Review. What begins as a crime thriller becomes the story of a detective's search for redemption … Israeli author Shoham's gritty [novel]…set in Tel Aviv…marks [his]…U.S. debut. Let's hope he gives us many more stories like it." - Kirkus
"This is a terrific book - a marvel of tight plotting, spare prose, and relentless pacing. It's refreshingly cynical, deeply thrilling, and an exciting introduction to an author who's set to become an international superstar." - Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of Paranoia and Buried Secrets
"There are deals made, budding romances, car bombs that don't detonate, a wannabe journalist-and a final, very satisfying resolution in which a telescope-bearing bubbe finally spills the beans." - Hadassah Magazine
"Liad Shoham has written a crime novel that is compelling on several different level... Whether one calls it a mystery, suspense, thriller, or crime novel, one must call it a very, very good book." - New York Journal of Books
