They call the ancient hills of Jerusalem the butcher's theater. Here, upon this bloodstained stage, a faceless killer performs his violent specialty: The first to die brutally is a fifteen-year-old girl. She is drained of blood, then carefully bathed and shrouded in white. Precisely one week later, a second victim is found. From the sacred Wailing Wall to the monasteries where dark secrets are cloistered, from black-clad bedouin enclaves to labyrinthine midnight alleys, veteran police inspector Daniel Sharavi and his crack team plunge deep into a city simmering with religious and political passions to hunt for a murderer whos insatiable taste for young women could destroy the delicate balance on which Jerusalem's very survival depends. A brilliant novel by a master of the genre, a vivid look at the tortured complexities of a psychopath's mind, a rich evocation of a city steeped in history -- this, and more, is The Butcher's Theater . From the Paperback edition.

Quand les extraterrestres ne se transforment pas en zombies, c'est sans doute qu'il va pleuvoir des crapauds aux dents longues. Et pourquoi pas ? Tout est possible – même l'inexplicable – quand on rêve éveillé : un coup de fil venu du futur, des hommes chauves-souris qui envahissent la Terre, une vieille maison qui se transforme en vaisseau spatial... Tout le monde perd le nord, même Sherlock Holmes qui se laisse doubler par ce bon vieux Watson. Le roi des rêves en chasse, le sens n'a plus de place. Stephen King tisse la toile de nos cauchemars et livre de surcroît la généalogie de ses textes... Mais pas le secret de leur formidable pouvoir hypnotique.
