Fourth in a series of popular, intellectually challenging mysteries from acclaimed Israeli author Batya Gur, Murder Duet features once again the smart, charming, and lonely police officer Michael Ohayon. After his cellist friend's father and brother--who are also well-known musicians--are brutally murdered, Ohayon, a classical music afficionado, sets out to solve the crime. From the opening pages, where the detective plays a compact disc of Brahm's First Symphony, to the newly discovered music for an unknown Vivaldi requiem that provides a rock-solid motive for the crime, lovers of crime novels, as well as music, will thrill to every dulcet note.
Batya Gur (Tel Aviv 1947-Jerusalén 2005) se doctoró en Literatura hebrea por la Universidad de Jerusalén, donde fue profesora durante más de veinte años. Sus novelas policiacas se han convertido en auténticos best-sellers en Europa, Japón y Estados Unidos, donde han figurado en la lista de las mejores novelas policiacas de The New York Times Book Review.
