#750 Hasidic Noir- Pearl Abraham
In Williamsburg, Brooklyn during a morning service, a private investigator learns of a murder. He is the city’s first and only Hasidic detective he says and since it is an “inside job” he is the only one that can solve it:
“Anywhere else, murder, even when it occurs with some frequency, is front page news; in the Hasidic world, it’s kept out of the papers.”
In a Hatfield and McCoy type of local feud, the murder is someone in line for the Grand Rabbinical Throne. Two congregations pitted against each other, printing propaganda and hiding true intentions. The intrigue is deep and what seems cut and dry, of course is anything but.
