a novel
With his international bestseller The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, Richard Zimler
first made a name as a master of historical thrillers. in this chilling mystery,
winner of the marques de ouro Prize, Zimler has woven a gripping tale in the
tradition of The Shadow of the Wind.

Ghetto. erik cohen, an elderly psychiatrist, moves into a tiny apartment with
his last remaining relatives. then his beloved great-nephew adam goes missing
and his body is discovered tangled in the barbed wire, strangely mutilated.
soon afterward another body turns up, this time a young girl. could there
be a Jewish traitor luring children to their deaths? With an unlikely hero and
hair-raising suspense, The Warsaw Anagrams is a profoundly moving and darkly
atmospheric thriller.
