As he digs deeper into the mystery, an intricate & blood-chilling story begins to unfold. For the past two hundred years, the accursed Melmoth has been searching desperately for an escape from the infernal bargain he once made.

”1871. Cattle-dealer Solomon Meijer has made a reputation for himself as one of the few honest Jews in Endingen, a rare Swiss town in which Jews are allowed to reside. He leads a largely untroubled life, rewarded by his work & comforted at home by his wife & two daughters. But all of this is set to end when he answers a knock at the door in the middle of the night. On the doorstep stands his young distant cousin, Janki, half-dead & begging for refuge. The pitiful figure is invited in & given a coveted place in the bosom of the family, but when Janki recovers & regains his ambition & his fine-looks, he will change the Meijer family`s lives for generations to come... In the tradition of the great family romances of the nineteenth century, Melnitz is the saga of the Swiss-Jewish Meijer family, spanning five generations from the Franco-Prussian War to World War II. It is a novel of fate, fortune & great falls; a homage to the sunken world of yiddish culture & a celebration of the enduring spirit of biting Jewish humour.” ...
