The shocking discovery of a child's corpse in the Tsiyonim ghetto of Arcassanne stirs up old fears and enmities in the city. Suspicion falls on Rahab ben Chazhael, a tailor still haunted by the day when he lost hold of his little brother's hand as his family fled a brutal pogrom. Rahab must escape the city guard and search for help - and the truth - in Tifereth, a scholarly Tsiyonim community hidden deep in the mountains. He'll bring with him an unexpected companion: wealthy Lia, once a customer of Rahab's, who has made some shocking discoveries about her own past. But time is running out. As the citizens of Arcassanne surround the ghetto, can Rahab find the murderer and save his community from suffering the same fate as his family?
