INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q: What Makes The Adam Lapid Historical Mysteries Series Unique? A: I wanted to write a historical murder mystery series that takes place in the early days of the State of Israel, starting in 1949, right after Israel became independent. As far as I know, there is no other mystery series that takes place in Israel at that time. Adam Lapid is a private detective like no other. Tough, smart, dedicated, and with a sense of justice uniquely his own. You will love reading about him. Throughout the books, Adam Lapid solves crimes and also attempts to rebuild his life after losing his entire family in Auschwitz. So you can expect an emotional and exciting reading experience, one that will stay with you long after you turn the last page. Q: Do I need to read the books in a specific order? A: Each of the books in the Adam Lapid series is a standalone mystery. You can pick any book and start reading. That being said, you may find it better to read the books in chronological order. I recommend the following sequence: Ten Years Gone The Dead Sister The Auschwitz Violinist A Debt of Death Q: What sort of reader will enjoy reading Ten Years Gone? A: If you like crime fiction, especially private investigator mysteries with a dash of vigilante justice, you will love Ten Years Gone. If you have a particular interest in historical mysteries, Israeli history or Jewish mysteries, then this book is definitely for you. Ten Years Gone is a thrilling mystery novel with plenty of twists and action, a little romance, unforgettable characters, and a plot that will keep you guessing to the end. As one reader wrote, part of him wanted to get to the solution as fast as possible, while another part wanted the book to never end.
