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.
ADVANCE PRAISE OF EMET
Emet has critics and commentators excited. It's been called a thriller that's as fast and furious as it is thoughtful and smart by New York Times bestselling novelist Andrew Klavan, and Glenn Reynolds, American legal scholar and founder of Instapundit, praises it as a thrilling page-turner with a satisfying ending. Novelist and Townhall columnist Kurt Schlichter says Simon delivers a tour de force full of...wit and wisdom and positivity amid peril, while radio host Wayne Allyn Root notes the novel even tackles the biggest mystery of all-who governs the universe. David Limbaugh adds that it doubles as a political and religious commentary, making it even more captivating and enlightening and declares it screams for sequels and an equally riveting television streaming series. Together, the praise captures a novel that's equal parts pulse-pounding thriller, spiritual quest, and thought-provoking exploration of history, politics, and legend.
