Lineup
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Liad Shoham, the #1 bestselling author in Israel, makes his American debut with Lineup—a superbly plotted, uncompromising crime thriller.
A brutal rape in a quiet Tel Aviv neighborhood has the police baffled. There are no witnesses, suspects, or clues, until the victim's father steps in and finds overwhelming evidence pointing to Ziv Nevo.
Veteran detective Eli Nahum questions Nevo, but can't get anything out of him. That's because Nevo has a secret. He works for the mafia, and telling the truth about why he was near the crime scene could get him killed.
Lineup focuses on these two men, detective and suspect, as they both end up betraying what they value most, fighting for their lives, and struggling make amends for their mistakes in this gritty, fast-paced, complex novel of suspense.

"This is a terrific book—a marvel of tight plotting, spare prose, and relentless pacing. It's refreshingly cynical, deeply thrilling, and an exciting introduction to an author who's set to become an international superstar." — Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of Paranoia and Buried Secrets
".... [A] brilliantly constructed crime thriller." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Lawyer/writer Shoham, dubbed the Israeli John Grisham, delivers a first-rate crime thriller in this first of his works to be translated to English." — New York Post
"Lineup will grab you from the opening and take you on a seamless, unstoppable ride." — National Examiner
"What begins as a crime thriller becomes the story of a detective's search for redemption.... Israeli author Shoham's gritty [novel]...set in Tel Aviv...marks [his]...U.S. debut. Let's hope he gives us many more stories like it." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Michael Connelly fans will appreciate this American debut by a best-selling Israeli author." — Booklist
"There are deals made, budding romances, car bombs that don't detonate, a wannabe journalist-and a final, very satisfying resolution in which a telescope-bearing bubbe finally spills the beans." — Hadassah Magazine
"Liad Shoham has written a crime novel that is compelling on several different levels.... Whether one calls it a mystery, suspense, thriller, or crime novel, one must call it a very, very good book." — New York Journal of Books
"Shoham creates a full-blooded thriller in Lineup a novel with multiple shocks but blessedly free of cardboard characters. A smart and absorbing read, it offers readers who prefer thoughtful crime fiction a new voice and a riveting examination of justice systems." — Alaska
"Making his U.S. debut, best-selling Israeli author Shoham (the 'Israeli John Grisham') has written an enjoyable and compelling thriller that should appeal to fans of urban crime thrillers (such as those by Michael Connelly and Robert Crais)." — Library Journal
"Set in Tel Aviv, Lineup has a fast-moving narrative.... Shoham manages to write a dark story with a light touch. He doesn't shy away from the ugly aftereffects of violent crime, but he succeeds in delivering a page-turner with a subtle measure of gallows wit." — Ellery Queen Magazine
"An absorbing crime novel...[that reveals] the everyday side to Israeli life." — Literary Review

Starred review from July 1, 2013
Only at the end of this brilliantly constructed crime thriller, the first by Israeli Shoham available in English, does the author’s ingenuity in intersecting lives and story lines become apparent. The rape at knife point of 24-year-old Adi Regev just outside her Tel Aviv apartment building prompts Adi’s enraged father, Yaron, to stake out her place in the hope of catching her assailant. During a nightlong vigil, Yaron spots someone acting suspiciously who matches Adi’s description of the rapist and follows him. Yaron later describes the man in sufficient detail to Insp. Eli Nachum for the police to arrest Ziv Nevo, who has a shady past. Irregularities in the lineup that includes Nevo and Adi’s uncertainty whether they have the right man complicate the investigation. Alternating perspectives revealing the inner lives of the characters—including Nachum, Nevo, the prosecutor on the case, and an ambitious journalist—enrich the plot. Agent: Jonny Geller, Curtis Brown (U.K.).

Starred review from August 15, 2013
Israeli author Shoham's gritty crime thriller set in Tel Aviv. An elderly woman witnesses a rape as she scans the street with her high-powered binoculars, but at first, she decides not to get involved. The victim's father helps identify a suspect named Ziv Nevo, and Detective Eli Nahum believes he has an easy case. Nevo has been found at the crime scene with no plausible explanation. He is innocent of the rape, but his real reason for being in the neighborhood is even worse. He is--well, it has to do with the Mafia. Detective Nahum is experienced, confident and careless, ready to take shortcuts and get the case over with. Under interrogation, Nevo is afraid to explain what he was doing at night in a strange neighborhood. In fact, he thinks he's been caught for what he was really doing. Once he caves and admits he did it, he finally learns what "it" is. His protestation that he didn't rape anyone can't keep him out of prison. Meanwhile, Nahum gets caught carrying on an affair with a woman in the chief's office. Nahum's career and his marriage collapse at about the same time he realizes what shoddy police work he has done. The good news? Now he has plenty of time to exonerate Nevo, learn his secret and--perhaps hardest of all--rebuild his own marriage. What begins as a crime thriller becomes the story of a detective's search for redemption. This book marks the author's U.S. debut. Let's hope he gives us many more stories like it.COPYRIGHT(2013) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
