Kabbalah

"Kaballah" is the story of three men who grew up together in a tough Pittsburgh neighborhood: a football hero destroyed by false hopes and drugs, a rabbi who now doubts his abilities, and a policeman eaten up by fear and envy. The men are all brought back together over the murder of a man at a local candy store. The rabbi uses the Kabbalah, a mystical interpretation of the Scriptures, to help provide answers as the action moves to Venice, California.

"Kabbalah is like the appearance of a nova... It is an original book, fresh, and revealing, and it takes the reader on a voyage through the dark, endless ocean of life." --author Arnost Lustig

"If Graham Greene's thrillers fascinate you, if 'Brighton Rock' gives you mental fever blisters, don't miss this book. In a desolate underworld setting, 'Kabbalah' generates continuous suspense and a haunting religious intensity. Like Greene, David Scott Milton uses people in danger to illuminate the interior drama of souls in jeopardy." --West Coast Review of Books

"'Kabbalah' will be read by a devoted audience long after other novels have been discarded!" --Chronicles of Culture
