Libi Astaire. Where Mystery and Jewish History Meet.
A young Jewish orphan goes missing in London during the great Frost Fair of 1814. Is he merely lost? Has he been kidnapped? Or killed? An ancient coin from the Land of Israel disappears during a dinner party. An honest mistake, or is someone trying to swindle one of the guests? A sukkah is destroyed in London’s East End, while a priceless bracelet is lost in fashionable Mayfair. A coincidence? Or is there some connection hidden deep beneath the surface? Once again there’s trouble afoot in Regency London’s Jewish community — and it will take a cast of lovably quirky characters and a strong dash of humor to solve the crimes. Included in this volume are the novellas General Well’ngone in Love, Too Many Coins and What’s in a Flame? – as well as a bonus chapter about the history of Regency London’s Ashkenazic Jewish community. Available at Amazon or other online booksellers. |
