AN ISRAELI VACATION IS NO HOLIDAY WHEN THIS SLEUTHING RABBI STUMBLES ON MURDER. THE NINTH IN THE SERIES OF RABBI SMALL MYSTERIES, ALL NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERS!

On a pleasure trip to the holy land, Rabbi David Small looks in on the troubled son of one of Barnard's Crossing's favorite grocers, the Goodmans. A confused young man, Jordan Goodman has embraced the extreme ideas of a controversial Jewish group and becomes strictly orthodox in observance. But Jordan's newfound beliefs lead him to perform an act of dubious heroism that leads to a murder charge. Knock wood - Rabbi Small is around to give even Israeli security a valuable lesson in age-old talmudic logic and one good American know-how.
