On a pleasure trip to the holy land, Rabbi David Small looks in on the troubled son of one of Barnard's Crossing's favourite 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. Thankfully, Rabbi Small is around to give even Israeli security a valuable lesson in age-old talmudic logic and good American know-how.

Hardback. On a trip to the Holy Land, Rabbi Small is drawn into a deadly conflict between religious extremists in the New York Times-bestselling series. Retired millionaire Barney Berkowitz, from the small Massachusetts town of Barnard's Crossing, invites Rabbi David Small to come to Israel and bar mitzvah him, as Berkowitz never went through the ceremony in his youth. On what should be a joyous occasion--and an all-expenses-paid trip to the Holy Land--the rabbi discovers danger lurking in every corner and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the state of Israel. An innocent American has been murdered and when the sleuthing rabbi begins his investigation, he finds the death may have been part of an international conspiracy fueled by religious radicals and an arms-smuggling scheme. Anyone, from a liberal Jewish-American professor to a young religious fundamentalist, could be a suspect--and the rabbi must rely on his Talmudic logic and daring chutzpah to untangle the mystery and prevent an even more deadly attack. 1988, First UK edition. A near fine copy only marked by light tanning of the edges. The d/w is unclipped and fine. N° de réf. du vendeur 26265597
