The shul’s Book Circle group has chosen The Lock-Up, a globe-spanning crime novel by Booker prize-winner John Banville, as its December selection. The session will take place on Thursday, Dec. 21, at 3 p.m., on Zoom.

When Rosa Jacobs is found dead in her car, the investigation leads two detectives to the mountaintops of Italy, the front lines of WWII Bavaria, the gritty streets of Dublin, and other unexpected settings in efforts to solve a complicated case that puts the duo’s personal lives in peril.

The Book Circle explores works by Jewish writers and Jewish themes. For more information about the group, email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
