Monday the Rabbi Took Off

A bomb plot draws Rabbi Small into international intrigue while he's vacationing in the Holy Land in this New York Times -bestselling novel. Edgar Award-Winning Author David Small has spent six years as the rabbi of Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts, and every year his job has been in crisis. In desperate need of time away, he embarks on a three-month trip to Israel. He expects a relaxing, soul-nourishing stay, but wherever Rabbi Small goes, murder follows. A bombing disrupts his vacation and the rabbi finds himself thrust into a world of terrorism and political discord in the divided city of Jerusalem. He teams up with an Orthodox Israeli cop to hunt down the terrorists before they can attack again. Dispensing Jewish wisdom as he employs his astute detective skills, Rabbi Small might be the only one who can crack this explosive case. "Salty, smart, shrewdly funny, well-plotted and fast-moving... Will take the blue out of Monday." - TheDetroit News "A fascination and delight from beginning to end." - Library Journal
