When a rabbi needs help tracking down a thief, it’s time to call on “ one of the most enjoyable private eyes in crime fiction” ( The Toronto Star ). Saul Tepperman of Ontario’s B’nai Shalom synagogue has known Benny Cooperman since his bar mitzvah. Now that Benny’s grown into a crack private detective, he’s called to investigate by Tepperman and the rabbi—after a once-trusted lawyer runs off with the savings of more than fifty clients, totaling around two million dollars . . . Filled with “wit and sardonic humor,” this lively novel is part of the acclaimed long-running series by the Arthur Ellis Award–winning author ( The Toronto Star ). “A puzzling case . . . A City Called July is a nice piece of detective work and a well-written book.” — The New York Times “Mr. Engel is a born writer, a natural stylist.

Westlake A City Called July is the fifth book in the Benny Cooperman Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
