Description: "Abe Lieberman is a strong, sympathetic character, an Everyman whose love for his family is only matched by his quiet, zealous commitment to justice." "He loves what he does, but it takes its toll as his commitment to what is right is sorely tested every day on the mean streets of Chicago. As a moral man, he is sometimes faced with some uncomfortable ethical choices in order to see that justice - rather than the letter of the law - is meted out.".

"From tracking a pair of low-rent thieves who stumble into a heist way over their heads to finding out what happened to a man who predicted his own death in a bizarre twist of fate - not to mention planning for a grandson's bar mitzvah that threatens to send him to the Poorhouse - Lieberman will do much to find a way to make everything right, even if it takes years off his life.".

"And his Irish partner, Bill Hanrahan, the Priest to Lieberman's Rabbi, is in trouble of his own making. For the woman he loves is the object of affection of a kingpin in Chicago's Asian crime syndicate and the notion of this woman marrying anyone from a different culture is anathema. How far will he go to win the woman he loves? And at what cost?" "Just another day in the lives of the Windy City's most amiably odd detective team..."--BOOK JACKET.
