Set in the Jewish homeland of Alaska, "The Yiddish Policemen’s Union" is a brilliantly original novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon. Imagine a world where Alaska, not Israel, became the homeland for the Jews after World War II. In Yiddish-speaking ‘Alyeska’, Detective Meyer Landsman discovers the body of a chess prodigy in the flophouse he calls home, setting off a chain of events that leads him to charismatic Rebbe Gold and a sect with a mysterious mission.

As Meyer delves into the murder, he must navigate the Orthodox gangs and personal demons that haunt him, including his formidable ex-wife Bina, who demands his cooperation. "The Yiddish Policemen’s Union" combines the stylish menace of 1940s film noir with a poignant exploration of identity, home, and faith. It is a novel of immense ambition and heart, showcasing the talent of one of today’s most important and cherished writers.
