"&#8220;Of all his many regrets, it was his decision to write his memories that Avram Cohen now regretted the most&#8221;Thus begins An Accidental Murder, the latest book in Robert Rosenberg&#8217;s acclaimed Avram Cohen mystery series. In a tale that takes the retired Jerusalem detective from Germany&#8217;s Frankfurt book fair to the Negev desert, as he searches for a murderer in Germany and ends up in the dark netherworld of the new Russian mafia in Israel, Avram Cohen is revealed as never before&#8212;a man with a complex past that makes his future most uncertain.Someone wants to kill Cohen&#8212;or so it seems&#8212;possibly because of something he wrote in his memoir about his year as an avenger assassinating Nazis after his long-ago liberation from the Dachau concentration camp. But then his longtime protege Nissim Levy is found murdered on the road to Eilat. Is this a revenge killing somehow aimed at Cohen, or as Nissim&#8217;s former assistant believes, could the Russian mafioso be involved? From private nightclubs where mafia kingpins entertain with vodka-drenched feasts to massage parlors where the women work with cold-blooded professionalism, Cohen&#8217;s search for Levy&#8217;s killer becomes a twisted journey into a new side of Israel hardly known to the outsider. On the way, Cohen must look back at his own guilt before he can unveil a killer with a misguided but nonetheless profound motive for murder. This finely drawn novel is, like all the Cohen novels, a portrait of a deeply complicated man trying hard to be moral in a world where greed rules. Building an atmosphere of personal pain and paranoia up until the very last pages of the book, Rosenberg gives us a tour de force."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
