"The Cooperman novels are heavy on full-bodied characters, sharp dialogue and rich humor. Benny just plain charms the socks off anyone he meets." (Booklist)
Benny Cooperman is a detective with flair-a witty, egg salad-loving, gentlemanly Jewish detective with a pronounced squeamishness when things get violent. In his most baffling case yet, Benny Cooperman is snug in his bed in quiet Grantham, a town near Niagara Falls, when three unsavory thugs drag him out of bed and present him like a trophy to notorious crime boss, Abram Wise. Someone has made two attempts on the gangster's life and-with no else to turn to-he wants Benny to investigate.
Howard Engel has once again assembled a colorful cast that includes Wise's two disgruntled ex-wives, an alluring supermodel, an irate foreign car dealer, and an eccentric retired librarian. In an intricately woven plot that mixes past and present, murder and Middle Eastern food, fashion and auto repair, Cooperman finds himself entangled in more corruption, vengeance and intrigue than one ever imagined could exist in a sleepy little town.
