The New York Times bestseller, now available in paperback--"an
excellent, hyperliterate, genre-pantsing detective novel that
deserves every inch of its...blockbuster superfame" (New York). For
sixty years Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in
the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in
the wake of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the
fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have
created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant
and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But
now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their
dream is coming to an end. Homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the
District Police has enough problems without worrying about the
upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck,
his career a disaster. And in the cheap hotel where Landsman has
washed up, someone has just committed a murder--right under his
nose. When he begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a
former chess prodigy, word comes down from on high that the case is
to be dropped immediately, and Landsman finds himself contending
with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, evil, and
salvation that are his heritage. At once a gripping whodunit, a
love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and
redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael
Chabon could have written.
