International bestselling author Liad Shoham makes his English-language debut in this compelling, superbly plotted crime thriller. After a brutal rape disturbs a quiet Tel Aviv neighbourhood, baffled detectives find no clues, no eyewitnesses, and no suspects. But the father of the shattered victim refuses to rest until justice is done, and begins his own investigation. Keeping watch over his daughter's apartment from the street, he notices Ziv Nevo lurking in the shadows, and hands him over to the police. All circumstances - and the victim - point to Nevo's guilt, and it appears the case is closed. Detective Eli Nachum is eager to wrap up this high-profile case, which has threatened to thwart his career. But why does the suspect keep silent during the interrogation? What secret is he hiding? What unfolds is a brilliant, fast-paced story that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Lineup is a twisted tale of mistaken identity, organised crime, a disgraced detective looking for redemption, a tireless young reporter, and an innocent man with a not-so-innocent past. Which lines will they cross, and what will they be willing to risk, as their worlds begin to collapse? This seamless, gripping novel introduces a powerful new voice in crime fiction.

Review:

"Lineup is superbly plotted, the pace is pitch-perfect and the translation of the prose is magnificent."

– Rob Minshull, ABC's Weekend Bookworm

'Michael Connelly fans will appreciate this American debut by a best-selling Israeli author.'

– Booklist

'A cleverly constructed and intricate crime novel'

– Jeff Popple, Canberra Times

'There are deals made, budding romances, car bombs that don’t detonate, a wannabe journalist-and a final, very satisfying resolution in which a telescope-bearing bubbe finally spills the beans.'

– Hadassah Magazine

'What begins as a crime thriller becomes the story of a detective’s search for redemption.... Israeli author Shoham’s gritty [novel] ... set in Tel Aviv ... marks [his] ... US debut. Let’s hope he gives us many more stories like it.'

– Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

'Line Up is a thrilling piece of crime writing.'

– JENNIFER LYONS, Launceston Examiner

'Making his US debut, best-selling Israeli author Shoham (the ‘Israeli John Grisham’) has written an enjoyable and compelling thriller that should appeal to fans of urban crime thrillers (such as those by Michael Connelly and Robert Crais).'

– Library Journal

'Liad Shoham has written a crime novel that is compelling on several different levels ... Whether one calls it a mystery, suspense, thriller, or crime novel, one must call it a very, very good book.'

– New York Journal of Books

'A brilliantly constructed crime thriller.'

– Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This is a brilliant crime thriller ... top-class stuff, definitely recommended."

– Graeme Barrow, The Northern Advocate
From the Back Cover:

International bestselling author Liad Shoham makes his American debut in this compelling, superbly plotted crime thriller.

After a brutal rape disturbs a quiet Tel Aviv neighborhood, baffled detectives find no clues, no eyewitnesses, and no suspects. The father of the shattered victim refuses to rest until justice is done, so he begins his own investigation. Keeping watch over his daughter's apartment from the street, he notices Ziv Nevo lurking in the shadows.

All circumstances--and the victim--point to Nevo's guilt, and it appears the case is closed. But appearances can be deceiving. Detective Eli Nachum is eager to wrap up this high-profile case, which threatens to thwart his career. He sees an easy conviction when the father, determined to succeed where the police have failed, hands over Nevo. But why does the suspect keep silent during the interrogation? What secret is he hiding? What should Nachum and the idealistic young district attorney understand from the suspect's silence?

What unfolds is a brilliant, fast-paced story that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Lineup is a twisted tale of mistaken identity, organized crime, a disgraced detective looking for redemption, a tireless young reporter, and an innocent man with a not-so-innocent past. Which lines will they cross and what will they be willing to risk, as their worlds begin to collapse? This seamless, gripping novel introduces a powerful new voice in crime fiction.
