Friday the Rabbi Slept Late

Winner of the Edgar Award: Rabbi Small investigates a murder in which he's the prime subject   David Small is the new rabbi in the small Massachusetts town of Barnard's Crossing. Although he'd rather spend his days engaged in Torah study and theological debate, the daily chores of synagogue life are all-consuming-that is, until the day a nanny's body is found on the rain-soaked asphalt of the temple's parking lot. When the young woman's purse is discovered in Rabbi Small's car, he will have to use his scholarly skills and Talmudic wisdom to exonerate himself and find the real killer.   Blending this unorthodox sleuth's quick intellect with thrilling action, Friday the Rabbi Slept Late is the exciting first installment of the bestselling Rabbi Small Mysteries.
