Welcome to the strange world of Saul Jacobson, a young Bible professor who loses his wife, job and brother. He takes off on a Western Canadian road-trip and picks up a runaway teenager, whom he tries stubbornly to befriend. "Somehow the idea of sharing the road with a sullen 19-year-old who liked sweet coffee and whose mother had drowned herself appealed to me."; Cohen, a rabbi, is a crime writer and Bible scholar. Heads You Lose is touted as 'highly recommended for fans of Biblical decapitation.' 1-896860-93-1
