The body of a young Yemeni woman is discovered in the attic of a
Bethlehem Road house, in a Jerusalem neighborhood famous for its
impenetrability to outsiders. The victim, once a beauty, is no
longer lovely -- her face has been brutally smashed.
More than the usual horror greets Chief Superintendent Michael
Ohayon in the closed and inscrutable Baka, for an old love and an
unfinished romance await him there as well. But much more is
concealed beneath the surface of this gruesome homicide -- as
tensions between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim, hostility between Arabs
and Jews, the half-century-old business of kidnapped Yemenite
children, and the al Aqsa Intifada of 2000 add fuel to a terrible
fire that might never be contained.
