Sobre aquest audiollibre
Israeli intelligence agent Maya Rimon teams up with Ethiopian activist lawyer, Dani Solomon, to track down the serial killer who has targeted the prominent Ethiopian Jewish family of Moshe Aklilu, a member of the Israeli Knesset. The murderer leaves cryptic clues on the victims' bodies: slash wounds made by a double-edged ceremonial knife, images of hyenas, and vengeful spirit animals associated with Jews back in Ethiopia. Because Aklilu is a member of the Knesset, Maya Rimon, an agent of the Service, Israel's elite Intelligence agency, takes on the case. So does her chief rival, Sarit Levine, Chief Inspector of the Jerusalem Police. Already biased against black Jews, Sarit suspects that the murder is a gang hit, payback for a failed drug deal. Maya suspects something far more sinister. Spiced with Ethiopian folklore and superstition, including Evil Eye curses, spirit possession, witch's brews, and spells, The Hyena Murders explores the timely theme of racism: among the various tribes of Israeli Jews, among politicians and bureaucrats, and within Maya's own family. In the course of the novel, as she grows closer to Dani, these social tensions take on an increasingly personal meaning for Maya.
