Death is not always what it seems to be. And neither is murder. Private investigator Adam Lapid was sure Yosef Kaplon was dead. The last time he saw him was in 1944, in Auschwitz. They were prisoners together in the same barracks. Then one day, without warning, Kaplon was gone. Now, six years later, Lapid runs into Kaplon on a street corner in Tel Aviv, Israel. A few days later, Kaplon is found dead in his apartment with his wrists slashed. The police say it was suicide . Adam Lapid is not so sure. Something doesn't feel right about Kaplon's death. Something doesn't make sense. Was Yosef Kaplon driven to madness and suicide by his time at Auschwitz? Or was he targeted by a crafty and sinister killer for some unknown sin? Adam Lapid must find out the truth. Or he might go mad himself.
