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.

      Rabbi David Small spends summer vacation in Jerusalem with Miriam, his wife. Naturally, he's drawn into trouble when he looks up the Goodmans' son, who has hooked up with a born-again Jewish sect and who is implicated in the murder of an American professor. Kemelman's novels are much more than mysteries. They are like FabergÄ eggs--polished, vivid, and filled with stunning detail that reveals Jewish life, culture, and religion. George Guidall is the perfect reader. He appreciates the rabbi's dry sense of humor, his scholarship, and his desire to mind his own business. Guidall's subtle voicing conveys the colorful characters in Kemelman's Rabbi Small novels with accuracy, a sense of appreciation, and a chuckle. L.R.S. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
