SUMMARY:JCC Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join the JCC for their 2021 Book Festival. \nSpeaker: Jonathan Dunsky\nModerator: Marty Shichtman\nThe Auschwitz Detective\n­FIC­TION \nIn the Adam Lapid Series\, Jonathan Dun­sky has brought to life a very unique pri­vate detec­tive\, and the two most recent addi­tions to Detec­tive Lapid’s sto­ry\, A Dead­ly Act and The Auschwitz Detec­tive\, are chalked full of unique chal­lenges and twists. \nAdam Lapid is a retired Hun­gar­i­an police detec­tive and a Holo­caust sur­vivor. A Dead­ly Act takes place at the end of World War II\, find­ing our hard-boiled detec­tive hav­ing just lost his wife\, daugh­ters\, and sib­lings to the atroc­i­ties of Auschwitz and immi­grat­ed to Pales­tine\, where he is try­ing to help build the state of Israel and return to his work. \nThe Auschwitz Detec­tive\, book six in the series\, is a pre­quel that takes the read­er back to the con­cen­tra­tion camp where Lapid was a pris­on­er in the fall and win­ter of 1944. When a young boy is mur­dered\, the Lager­al­teste\, a fel­low pris­on­er ele­vat­ed to senior sta­tus and giv­en lead­er­ship duties\, is angered and wants to exact revenge on the cul­prit. Lapid is giv­en the case and forced to take on the role of detec­tive once again\, inter­view­ing oth­er pris­on­ers and guards and work­ing to uncov­er a mur­der­er in a place where dozens are killed daily. \nJonathan Dun­sky is the author of the Adam Lapid his­tor­i­cal mys­ter­ies series and the stand­alone thriller The Pay­back Girl. Before turn­ing to writ­ing\, Jonathan served for four years in the Israeli Defense Forces and worked in the high-tech and Inter­net indus­tries. He resides in Israel with his wife and two sons.
