Description

When a controversial celebrity rabbi drops dead over his matzoh ball soup at the famed Canter’s Deli in Los Angeles, retired private eye Amos Parisman– a sixtyish, no-nonsense Jewish detective who lives with his addled wife in Park La Brea–is hired by the temple’s board to make sure everything is kosher. As he looks into what seems to be a simple, tragic accident, the ante is raised when more people start to die or disappear, and Amos uncovers a world of treachery and hurt that shakes a large L.A. Jewish community to its core.
