Early Bright by Ami Silber
Louis will sell you your dreams-he'll ply you with promises while he charms you out of your money, but promises are all you'll get. Those dreams will never come true.
From the black jazz clubs on Central Avenue in Watts, to the tidy homes of the war widows he cons, Louis Greenberg lives life on the outside. No matter how charming and passionate he is, an outsider he will always be. He is white, a Jew, and that never goes away...

Three Musketeers by Marcelo Birmajer
Elias Traum, a former Argentinean currently residing in Israel, returns to Buenos Aires after twenty years of absence to mourn his two friends- two fellow Jews who together with him once comprised "the three musketeers." These young men signed their own death sentences when they joined the Montoneros, the left-wing Peronist guerrilla group, back in the bad days of the Dirty Wars in the 1970s and 80s.

Unfortunately, Jack is not the only man on the trail of the stolen money - he is in competition with a sadistic killer who relishes the carnage he leaves in his wake.

Tales of the Ten Lost Tribes by Tamar Yellin
Taking its imagery from the legend of the ten tribes of Israel exiled by the Assyrians and lost to the pages of history beyond the River Sambatyon, Tales of the Ten Lost Tribes follows the life-journey of a wandering narrator who encounters a series of displaced persons: the uncle whose endless travels seem romantic but are in fact a camouflage for a life of failure and malaise; the professor whose mastery of many languages can never assuage the anguish of his lost mother tongue; the girl student who may literally be invisible...
