About this ebook
With his Chicago cops, Edgar Award winner “Kaminsky is hard to beat for a thoughtful, well-plotted, well-written mystery” (The Washington Post Book World).
Most days, the counters at Maish’s Deli on Chicago’s North Side are crowded with elderly Jewish men who trade stories and crack wise. But today, the mood at Maish’s is grim. Someone has vandalized the local temple—the fifth in a row—and stolen a priceless Torah, and only Abe Lieberman can set things right. A veteran cop whose low-key attitude and sardonic humor conceal an intense commitment to justice, Lieberman is taking the break-in very personally—the synagogue’s president just happens to be his wife.
With the help of his lapsed Catholic partner, Bill Hanrahan, Lieberman must straddle the roles of detective and diplomat, tracking down the thugs who defaced the temples while at the same time brokering peace between the North Side’s warring factions before they tear the city apart. Because when it comes to the law, the cop they call “Rabbi” understands that while he may work for the Chicago police department, he also serves a higher authority.
Abe Lieberman is “smart, tough, empathetic, and just a tad crazy when circumstances require.” And Lieberman’s Law “is a wonderfully rich cop novel” (Booklist).
