This review is from: Crimes of the City (Mass Market Paperback)

Avram Cohen is a believable guy. His people and his milieu come across as modern and as troubled as the newspapers, yet with a fully developed sense of reality. Here are characters you can understand, and an entrance into another culture and a whole set of problems that make daily life a hazardous occupation. Avram is a policeman and a good one, and he is also a man bothered by the insensate world of his surroundings. To be along on the pathways of his solution to a series of brutal crimes is to be invited into Israeli life as it is today. The beauty of timeless scenery set against the fanaticism of zelotry makes you want more of Rosenberg's Cohen series.
