The Crying Machine

The world has changed. But Jerusalem endures.

Overlooked by new superpowers, the Holy City of the future is a haven of spies and smugglers, exiles and extremists.

A refugee with strange technological abilities searches for a place to disappear.

An ambitious young criminal plots the heist that could make or destroy him.

A corrupt minister harnesses the power of the past in a ruthless play for complete control.

And the wheels of another plan — as old and intricate as the city itself — begin to turn…

THE CRYING MACHINE is a sharp, lyrical thriller of power, religion, and artificial intelligence.
