Jacob Lev is a former yeshiva student, a former Harvard student, a former detective and current LAPD traffic officer, and a depressed alcoholic. Jacob can't stand solving murders, so he no longer works in the homicide department, but pores over analyzing traffic jams. His life is desperately boring. But one strange day, suspicious events descend upon him like an avalanche. In the morning, a breathtakingly beautiful woman is discovered in his apartment - it is unclear where she came from, and it is unclear where she soon went. Jacob is persistently approached by the mysterious Special Branch, which he has never heard of. Jacob is assigned to investigate a terrible and strange murder. Little was found at the crime scene - a severed head and Hebrew words burned onto the table. Jacob must return not only to his police experience, but also to his long-abandoned religion. The investigation will lead him to Prague, where another hero of this mysterious story once lived - a golem, created in the 16th century by the sage Maharal, a Prague rabbi. Jonathan Kellerman, psychologist and author of bestselling detective books about Alex Delaware, and his son Jesse Kellerman, bestselling author "Genius", "Philosopher", "Scorch" and "Trouble", together have written a tense and decidedly unpredictable mystery about revenge and redemption. “Golem in Hollywood” is an explosive mixture: ancient legends, transmigration of souls, revenge, cruelty and mercy, police everyday life (without hope for holidays), an obsessive pursuit of an inconvenient truth, stubborn attempts to laugh even when it’s time to cry, genuine grief and rare, but a sharp joy. And there will be eternal love too - because without it there is no eternity.
