About this title

Review:

"The Heretic humanizes the tragic history of religious persecution." - Alan Dershowitz; "Don't start reading The Heretic unless you're prepared to put everything else aside.... Powerful, riveting, and inspiring... a must read." - David A. Harris, American Jewish Committee; "The Heretic is deeply absorbing, but it also helps Jews and Christians better understand their complex and often painful relationship." - Elie Wiesel; "A first rate job of recreating the complex tragedy and drama of Jewish life in fifteenth-century Spain." - Jane S. Gerber, Institute for Sephardic Studies, City University of New York

About the Author:

Lew Weinstein became an author after a successful management career during which he was CEO of public, private and not-for-profit organizations, and was also a candidate for US Congress. In addition to THE HERETIC, Lew has published 3 other novels: THE POPE’S CONSPIRACY, a sequel to THE HERETIC set in Florence; A GOOD CONVICTION, the story of a young man convicted of a murder he didn’t commit by a prosecutor who knew he was innocent; and CASE CLOSED, the story of what really happened in the 2001 anthrax attacks, which is far different from what the FBI asserts. Lew was born in Camden, NJ, educated at Princeton and Harvard, and currently lives in Key West with his wife Pat Lenny. He has spoken about his novels at numerous Jewish book fairs and synagogues, and most recently presented a very well received description of how he records, organizes and uses the extensive historical research which is critical to his novels. Lew’s next novel, tentatively title A FLOOD OF EVIL, shows two young people, a German boy and a Polish girl, as they fall in love while at the same time committing their lives to attempts to stop the rise of Adolf Hitler. This is a fascinating look, from inside the Nazi structure, at those German and Church leaders who could have stopped Hitler before he gained power.
