But then, during a peace demonstration in Jaffa, a respected rabbi is attacked right before his eyes by a man in a Christmas costume. Shortly after, the clergyman dies. Assaf cannot let the matter rest, and he uncovers shocking revelations: the rabbi would have died soon anyway. Traces of arsenic are found in his body. He was also involved in shady real estate deals in the Arab part of the city. When war breaks out in Israel, the investigation threatens to push the commissioner to his limits. The second case of Commissioner Rosenstahl - a gripping journey into the heart of modern Israeli society. By a German author living in Tel Aviv.
