description: Detective Mihd Montgomery is not your average mystery novel detective. Far from being a hardboiled reticent loner he is an outgoing happily married father of two children who relies on spiritual principles for guidance in both his work and personal life. But when a rabbi is murdered in a Jewish synagogue in an apparent hate crime Detective Montgomerys faith is put to the test. A rabbi in the Beth Shalom Synagogue has been murdered through a blow to the head with a heavy brass candleholder and hateful graffiti has been spray-painted throughout the synagogue. As he begins interviewing people with connections to the killing Detective Montgomery finds that different people had plenty of motives to murder the rabbi. Perhaps it was the real estate agent who was hoping to buy the synagogue if people moved out. Perhaps it was the jealous ex-boyfriend of the woman who was in love with the rabbi. Or perhaps it was the white nationalist who has a history of posting racist flyers in the area. With such a diversity of suspects Detective Montgomery must move quickly to pinpoint the suspect if he is to keep the synagogue the town and his family out of harms way.
