Expecting to write a heartening story about the rescue of the legendary "Crown of Aleppo" Matti Friedman instead discovered human drama filled with betrayals, conspiracies and surprise plot twists. An unintentional thriller, this is the story of a book that was once a community's greatest pride, ruined by the humans entrusted with its care. Friedman is a magnificent and thoughtful storyteller, shifting between time and place with facility, bringing the story of the Codex to life and weaving it skillfully with the present and recent past. Friedman is an international reporter and blogger who currently writes for the Times of Israel. This is his first book. "A superb work of investigative journalism that reads like a detective thriller." The Wall Street Journal
