Jonathan's first published book was a medical text, PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CHILDHOOD CANCER, 1980. Decades later, the program, under the tutelage of one of Jonathan's former students, continues to break ground. Jonathan was asked to be founding director and, along with his team, published extensively in the area of behavioral medicine. The success of that venture led to the establishment, in 1977 of the Psychosocial Program, Division of Oncology, the first comprehensive approach to the emotional aspects of pediatric cancer anywhere in the world. IN 1975, Jonathan was asked by the hospital to conduct research into the psychological effects of extreme isolation (plastic bubble units) on children with cancer, and to coordinate care for these kids and their families.
He served internships in clinical psychology and pediatric psychology at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles and was a post-doctoral HEW Fellow in Psychology and Human Development at CHLA. in psychology at the age of 24, with a specialty in the treatment of children. Like his fictional protagonist, Alex Delaware, Jonathan received at Ph.D. As a senior, at the age of 22, he won a Samuel Goldwyn Writing Award for fiction. He helped work his way through UCLA as an editorial cartoonist, columnist, editor and freelance musician. Jonathan Kellerman was born in New York City in 1949 and grew up in Los Angeles. All that he has believed to be true will be upended-and not only his world, but the world itself, will be changed. Seared into a kitchen counter nearby is a single word: the Hebrew for justice.ĭetective Lev is about to embark on an odyssey-through Los Angeles, through many parts of the United States, through London and Prague, but most of all, through himself. There is no body, only an unidentified head lying on the floor of a house. Newly reassigned to a Special Projects squad he didn’t even know existed, he’s sent to a murder scene far up in the hills of Hollywood Division.
But this mystery pales in comparison to the one he’s about to be called on to solve. But the Golem is dormant no longer.ĭetective Jacob Lev wakes one morning, dazed and confused: He seems to have picked up a beautiful woman in a bar the night before, but he can’t remember anything about the encounter, and before he knows it, she has gone. The legend of the Golem of Prague has endured through the ages, a creature fashioned by a sixteenth-century rabbi to protect his congregation, now lying dormant in the garret of a synagogue. When these three collide, a new standard of suspense is born. a grotesque, ancient monster bent on a mission of retribution. a woman of mystery who is far more than she seems. From Jonathan Kellerman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author and master of psychological suspense, and Jesse Kellerman, the international #1 bestselling author of The Genius, comes one of the most remarkable novels of the year.Ī burned-out L.A.
