About this ebook
Saul Tepperman of Ontario’s B’nai Shalom synagogue has known Benny Cooperman since his bar mitzvah. Now that Benny’s grown into a crack private detective, he’s called to investigate by Tepperman and the rabbi—after a once-trusted lawyer runs off with the savings of more than fifty clients, totaling around two million dollars . . .
Filled with “wit and sardonic humor,” this lively novel is part of the acclaimed long-running series by the Arthur Ellis Award–winning author (The Toronto Star).
“A puzzling case . . . A City Called July is a nice piece of detective work and a well-written book.” —The New York Times
“Mr. Engel is a born writer, a natural stylist. This is a writer who can bring a character to life in a few lines.” —Ruth Rendell
“Benny Cooperman is . . . a lot of fun to hang out with.” —Donald E. Westlake
A City Called July is the fifth book in the Benny Cooperman Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
