Príbeh Jonáša Toledana, syna židovského zlatníka, sa začína na sklonku 15. storočia, tesne pred vyhostením Židov zo Španielska. V krajine kráľovnej Izabely vládne krutá inkvizícia a strach. Mnohí Židia sa pod tlakom okolností rozhodnú stať katolíkmi, no sú aj takí, ktorí si chcú zachovať pôvodnú vieru a húfne odchádzajú za hranice. Kým sa k nim rodina Toledanovcov stihne pripojiť, rozvášnený dav podpáli ich dom a nešťastného zlatníka zabije. Pätnásťročný Jonáš otcovi pred smrťou sľúbi, že zostane verný svojim koreňom. Podarí sa mu ujsť, no všade ho prenasleduje tieň inkvizície. Jonáš putuje po Španielsku a hľadá nielen bezpečné útočisko, ale aj odpovede na dôležité otázky srdca. Podarí sa mu vytrvať a pretaviť náboženskú tradíciu do živej a osobnej viery? Nájde zaslúžený pokoj a lásku? Historický román Noaha Gordona je krásnym svedectvom o tom, že viera v Boha má zmysel iba vtedy, ak ju sprevádza aj láska a úcta k človeku.

A newborn baby is found wedged in a vanity cabinet in a rundown apartment near Montreal. Dr Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist to the province of Quebec, is brought in to investigate. While there, she discovers the mummified remains of two more babies within the same room. Shocked and distressed, Tempe must use all her skills and inner strength to focus on the facts.

The trail leads Tempe to Yellowknife, a cold, desolate diamond-mining town on the edge of the Arctic Circle, where her quest for the truth only throws up more questions, more secrets, and more dead bodies.

Margolin's masterful legal thrillers know they are in for suspense at its finest, with a rollercoaster plot and a keen knowledge of the inner workings of the American justice system. At the centre of THE UNDERTAKER'S WIDOW is the beleagured figure of Richard Quinn - a judge so ethical that he is willing to risk his own life to see that justice prevails in his courtroom. But as Quinn discovers when he presides over the trial of tough-talking state congresswoman Jane Crease, there is not always a clear path to justice. A cigar-smoking former police officer, Crease is a flamboyant public figure who stands accused of the brutal murder of her husband, a wealthy undertaker. Things, however, are not as they seem, and Quinn soon begins to suspect that Crease may well have been set up. As he zeros in on the shocking secret at the heart of the trial, Quinn finds that his efforts to do the right thing lead him ever deeper into an insidious maze of murder and deceit. With all the narrative pulse and legal sophistication that have made Margolin a household name, THE UNDERTAKER'S WIDOW is a complex and wild ride that is sure to win many more fans.
