(3) 4-6 Translated by Betsy Rosenberg. When his elderly friend is accused by an old rival of stealing a valuable portrait, twelve-year-old David must track down the real thief before the pig-headed seniors harm themselves in an "honour or death" duel in a Jerusalem orchard. David slowly doles out pieces of the backstory leading up to the duel, generating suspense in this quirky, poignant novel.
