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).
