When he is asked to witness the execution of a young man found guilty of a double murder, Tennessee Sheriff Spencer Arrowood is reminded of a convicted murderer hanged in 1833. But like the long-ago trial and hanging of Frankie Silver, this new case seems far less clear-cut than the judge and jury believe it to be. Will Sheriff Arrowood witness another unjust execution, or is the young man on death row guilty as charged? A New York Times Notable Book for 1998.

An English translation of the best-selling Portuguese historical thriller that follows the wandering of Berekiah Zarco, a manuscript illuminator, through both the pages of the Kabbala and the bloody streets of Lisbon during the Great Pogrom of April 1506. In his struggle to find the man who murdered his Uncle Abraham--a famous scholar who devoted his life to interpreting the secrets of the Kabbala-- Zarco tracks down answers among the Christians, converts, and Jews of Lisbon, and finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a world that is less familiar with each step.
