Another book by Michael Chabon, this detective story is set in an alternate history during which, in World War II, a temporary township is established in Sitka, Alaska to accept Jewish refugees, with the State of Israel being destroyed in 1948.  Following Detective Meyer Landsman, the tale brings the reader through a classic whodunnit story investigating the murder of a man called Emmanuel Lasker during the last weeks of his official employ by Sitka Police before reversion to American control.
