The Way it Ends by Theodore Jacobs

Ted Jacobs’s new novel, The Way it Ends, grips the reader from its opening pages. Jacobs’s protagonist Dr. Strickman, a psychoanalyst turned amateur gumshoe, sets off to uncover how his brother died–murder or suicide? A subplot of Israeli Palestinian conflict masterfully adds depth and tension to this engaging, dark and, yet, humorous tale.
—KERRY MALAWISTA, PHD author of the novel, Meet the Moon.

“A great read that touches the heart. As moving as it is intriguing.”
—ANDREW POTOK, author of Ordinary Daylight
