The Book of Zev (
Köehler Books: ISBN 978-1-940192-78-9) will be released on Dec. 1, 2014. What: Book signing and reading from Marilyn's new book,
The Book of Zev. Can a New York City cab driver and a beautiful private chef prevent a fanatical Middle Eastern dignitary from blowing up the United Nations and launching a nuclear attack on Israel in less time than it took God to create the world? The Book of Zev is a political thriller that tells the story of two gentle souls who share the same psychic and get caught up in a global terrorist plot: Zev Bronfman, a strapping, angry 32-year-old refugee-from-religious-Jewish-life virgin/cabdriver; and Sarah Hirshbaum, a beautiful, redheaded, depressed, God-hating kosher chef/divorcee who seesaws between yoga and too much red wine. When the psychic inadvertently sends a tape recording of Zev's latest reading to Sarah, a series of harrowing events forces the two of them to band together to stop a powerful terrorist with plans to destroy both the United Nations and Israel.
