A rabbi who doubts. A city on edge. A truth older than memory rising from the earth.
When Nashville is shaken by the brutal murder of a young woman visiting from New York, Rabbi Benjamin Ben Golub-a reluctant spiritual leader whose faith has long wavered-finds himself drawn into a crisis far larger than grief and consolation. The crime unmoors his congregants, ignites simmering fears, and pulls the rabbi into the orbit of two people connected to the victim: Ed, a Serbian-born sculptor with a past marked by war, and Tamara, a sharp-witted New York publicist fleeing her own heartbreak.
But when a freak tornado hits the city, exposing strange phenomena in the rabbi's own backyard, Ben confronts something he never expected: evidence that an ancient Jewish legend may be more than myth. What begins as a whispered joke-a lump of mud shaped like a man-soon reveals a terrifying capacity for action.
As violence escalates, anti-Jewish hatred rises worldwide, and the rabbi's private doubts collide with what he witnesses, Ben must decide what he truly believes-and what he is willing to unleash. Because the line between protector and monster is thinner than anyone imagined. And truth-emet-has consequences.
EMET is a gripping, unsettling novel about faith, fear, justice, and the supernatural forces that emerge when an ordinary man is pushed past the limits of reason.
