The first novel in a crime series about “two Chicago cops, one
Jewish, one Irish . . . Told with deceptive simplicity [and] a
gentle wit” (The Boston Globe). Detectives Abe Lieberman and Bill
Hanrahan have been partners a long time—long enough to call each
other “Rabbi” and “Father Murphy.” Lieberman is sixty, a
grandfather, and a devout Jew. Hanrahan is a lapsed Catholic who’s
been hitting the bottle pretty heavily ever since his wife walked out
on him. They may be flawed, but they’re good cops. But even good
cops have bad days. On a hot Chicago afternoon, Lieberman would
prefer to be watching his beloved Cubs from the bleachers at Wrigley
Field instead of sitting in his brother Maish’s deli with Hanrahan,
meeting a prostitute and valued informant. But Estralda Valdez needs
their protection from a psychotic john, and the partners agree to
watch her back on their off-duty time. That Friday night, while
Lieberman is in temple, Hanrahan has the first watch, across the
street from Estralda’s apartment in a Chinese restaurant. But while
he passes the time with two doubles and flirts with the waitress, the
beautiful prostitute is brutally murdered. Tortured by guilt and
chewed out by their chief, Lieberman and Hanrahan race against the
clock to find the killer. They owe at least that much to Estralda.
Lieberman’s Folly is “first-rate work, featuring characters you
can almost touch and streets you can almost walk on, and an expertly
plotted story” (The Phildelphia Inquirer).
