Moe Prager--former cop, wine shop owner, reluctant detective, and "perhaps the only licensed Jewish P.I. in the five borughs"--attempts to solve a sixteen-year-old case in this mystery set in 1981. This is an entertaining story with enough plot twists to keep the reader guessing until the very end.

Redemption Street (Moe Prager, Bk 2)
Redemption Street - Moe Prager, Bk 2
Author:
Walking the Perfect Square introduced Moe Prager -- retired New York City cop-turned-wine shop owner -- to much acclaim and an enthusiastic readership. Still possessed of his vintage police savvy, and perhaps the only Jewish licensed PI in the five boroughs, Moe wonders if he’s really meant to be a merchant and not a cop. Redempt... more » finds him in 1981, lured into the mystery of a 1966 hotel fire -- one that killed seventeen people, including his first love -- by a long-grieving brother and Moe’s own restless determination to set things right.
Reed Farrel Coleman’s crisp, page-turning narrative has Moe trudging through his childhood summer vacation stomping grounds, the now-decaying Catskill resort scene. The borscht belt’s near-forgotten landscape of scarred lives, ambitious politicians, and corrupt cops is the minefield Moe must brave to find the truth. Was the fire really sparked by a negligent smoker or was it murder? Will the long dead keep their secrets or divulge their stories? And will what Moe uncovers lead him down another blind alley or into the bright light of Redemption Street?
