The Walls of Jericho - Paperback

by Ronald Ruskin (Author)

"A hard-to-shake techno-paranoid fever dream about the collapse of truth, trust, and sanity in the digital age."

- Kirkus Reviews

Dr. Leila Elfassi is the new director of the emergency psychiatry ward at Manhattan Central Hospital. But just as she takes the position, a strangely contagious mental disorder starts to shake the world. Violent rage, extreme paranoia, and sudden group-think are spreading as fast as viral internet memes, and researchers studying the cause of disorder find their work sabotaged - or even end up dead.

And then, Leila learns a terrifying truth about the plague from an anomalous archeological find in the ruins of Jericho that the scientific community refused to hear: this has happened before.

Equal parts spy, medical, and historical thriller, The Walls of Jericho is a relentless, fast-paced, and incisive look at modern technology and the human condition.
