The trail leads to a sleeper jihadist and embroils her in Turkish and Kurdish politics.

The Yiddish Policemen's Union
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay pens an homage to the stylish menace of 1940s noir, in a novel that imagines if Alaska, not Israel, had become the homeland for the Jews after World War II.
