With The Nouveau Criminals, the successful Israeli author Edna Mazia offers you the opportunity of a five star encounter, with characters which shall attract you to the saraband of events which you shall not escape unless you let laughter envelop you and lead you towards relaxation with no way back…

You shall cry with laughter at the challenges faced by the „nouveau criminals”… The humour and wisdom of an honest family of our days shall persuade you that it is worthwhile confronting fate even if one becomes its toy, even if the whole world has gone mad and ... even if „everything is but ...a great brothel”!!!
