Order of Detective Jacob Lev Books

The Detective Jacob Lev series follows a weary Los Angeles police detective whose investigations venture into supernatural territory. This compelling series comes from the collaborative efforts of bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman, renowned for his Alex Delaware novels, and his talented son Jesse Kellerman, an accomplished playwright and novelist.

At the heart of the series is Jacob Lev, a detective experiencing professional burnout who carries the weight of an interrupted past—a former Harvard student whose academic dreams were derailed by family circumstances. Now working the streets of LA, Lev encounters a case that will challenge everything he knows about police work. His investigation draws him deep into elements of his Jewish heritage, ultimately leading him face-to-face with a Golem—a creature that bridges his cultural roots with the supernatural mysteries he must solve.
