Literary career
Levin's first novel, The Last Ember (2009), is an archeological crime thriller. He told the Miami Herald that the idea came to him while he was in Israel clerking for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He came across a case dealing with illegal excavation and theft of archaeological artifacts.[1] The book launch party was held at Sotheby's.[3]
According to the Canadian writer Ross King, writing in the Los Angeles Times, Jonathan Marcus, the main character of Levin's "smart and well-paced thriller," resembles the author in being a young attorney who trained in archaeology at the American Academy in Rome before going to law school.[4] The Biblical Archaeology Review quibbled about details: Josephus was born in the year 30, not 37.[5] The Globe and Mail called it a "stellar debut" and "a great airplane novel".[6]
In September 2009, Levin's novel hit The New York Times Best Seller list.[7] It was published in paperback in 2010.
Films
Levin was first involved in Lion as an Executive Producer and recently completed the film Three Christs as Producer. His next project is based on Malcolm's Butler's interception in Super Bowl XLIX.[9]
