For six decades, Jewish refugees and their descendants have thrived in the Federal District of Sitka, a temporary sanctuary established after the Holocaust and the collapse of Israel in 1948. The Jewish community in Sitka has built a unique world in the Alaskan panhandle, a bustling frontier city pulsating with the rhythm of Yiddish culture. However, their time in the District is coming to an end as it prepares to return to Alaskan control.
Enter homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police, a man grappling with personal turmoil amidst the impending Reversion. His life is in disarray, his marriage in ruins, and his career in shambles. To top it off, a murder occurs in the seedy hotel where Landsman resides, right under his nose. As he delves into the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy, he faces pressure from above to drop the case, forcing him to confront the deep-seated forces of faith, obsession, evil, and redemption that define his heritage.
A thrilling mystery, a tale of love, and an exploration of exile and salvation, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a literary masterpiece crafted by the incomparable Michael Chabon. Get ready to be captivated by a story that only Chabon could bring to life!
