Murder In Gotham - Weiss and Weiss, Bk 2 Author:Isidore Haiblum Instead of the police, the wife of a missing man asks Yiddish detective Morris Weiss for help. He knows more than the cops about the gangland workings of the Lower East Side-and he's about to learn even more.
A detective story that takes place in the Lower East Side and New York of the 1940s. Not young adult, especially. Protagonist is a 29 year old Yiddish speaking detective and former prize-fighter. A light enjoyable read.
