Golgotha

De: Lavie Tidhar

Narrado por: Andrew Wincott

Bloomsbury presents Golgotha by Lavie Tidhar, read by Andrew Wincott.

Two men, decades apart, are ensnared in the deadly search for a fabled treasure in the conclusion to Lavie Tidhar's epic and audacious Maror Trilogy.

1882, Jerusalem
The foreigner. A man with no name, twin guns at his hips, a wide-brimmed hat on his head. A European exile in the backwaters of Ottoman Palestine, The foreigner is a bounty hunter in pursuit of a thief.

1948, Haifa
Burton. A man with one name, a detective inspector in the crumpled khaki uniform of the Palestine Police Force’s CID. With just seven days before the British Mandate ends, he must find a murderer and a missing aristocrat, as order collapses around him.

Both men are outsiders in a land that is a palimpsest of ruins and loyalties, legacy of a history written in blood on a landscape that remembers everything. Both men will treat with bandits and mystics, dreamers and killers as they pursue their quarry; both will be ensnared in a lethal search for the fabled treasures of the Second Temple, long-lost amid the rise and fall of peoples, nations and empires. And both will be haunted by their dreams: burning red skies, a mountain of skulls, echoes of a vision from the dawn of humanity.

Before Jerusalem, before Jericho, there has always been Golgotha.©2025 Lavie Tidhar (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Reseñas de la Crítica

'A searing portrait of history as both knife and the longing heart it seeks. Tidhar's best.' (Junot Diaz)

Tidhar never takes the direct route and has turned his historical canvas into a decidedly noir epic, almost as if a Jewish version of James Ellroy was in control (Maxim Jakubowski)
