INTRODUCTION IT LOOKS AND FEELS like a book, I know, but I promise you that what you hold in your hand is an axe. A paper axe, it's true, but an axe nonetheless. I'll explain. Jericho Mosaic is the capstone of Ted Whittemore's Jerusalem Quartet, one of the most ambitious literary endeavors of the 20th Century. Like Robert Musil's Man of Qualities and Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet, Whittemore's magnum opus explores the great themes of this and every other age.

An historical novel of subtle and ferocious dimensions, Jericho Mosaic is, above all else, a tale of espionage inspired by the tragic heroism of a spy named Eli Cohen. book-quote
