A member of Rabbi Small's congregation dies a mysterious death during the worst hurricane Barnard's Crossing has experienced in years. But when the suspect turns out to be a likable albeit troubled young man, Rabbi Small comes to his aid—fully immersing himself in a decidedly non-kosher mystery that involves prescription drugs, real-estate shenanigans and possibly a pre-meditated murder.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Harry Kemelman has a B.A. from Boston University and an M.A. in English philology from Harvard. Kemelman taught at a number of schools before World War II and during the war, Kemelman worked as a wage administrator for the United States Army Transportation Corps in Boston and later, for the War Assets Administration. It was after that war that Kemelman became a freelance writer and private businessman.

He began his writing career by writing short stories for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine featuring New England college professor Nicky Welt, the first of which, The Nine Mile Walk, is considered a classic. He was the creator of one of the most famous religious sleuths, Rabbi David Small—the key figure in his Rabbi series.
