The Detective Jacob Lev series brings together crime fiction and Jewish folklore across three books. Starting with The Golem of Hollywood in 2013, Jesse and Jonathan Kellerman created a mystery series where an LAPD detective’s cases intersect with the ancient legend of the golem.
The series takes Jacob from Los Angeles to Paris and into the heart of Kabbalistic tradition. It represents the most ambitious work in either Kellerman’s catalog, asking readers to follow a detective story that reaches back through centuries of religious history while still delivering the procedural satisfaction of a well-constructed mystery.
