Bayer at his intriguing best in Jerusalem.....

An undiscoverd classic of trash fiction
Oh yes, this book is trash. It's vile, and at times silly. But if you like this kind of thing, it's pure gold. With an insightful screenwriter and director, it could be a great movie. However, it's more likely to go straight to video if it would ever be made at all. But the book... well, if trash is your guilty pleasure then you have hit the jackpot.
