Book description
Walking the Perfect Square introduced Moe Prager - retired New
York City cop-turned-wine shop owner - to much acclaim and an
enthusiastic readership. Still possessed of his vintage police savvy,
and perhaps the only Jewish licensed PI in the five boroughs, Moe
wonders if he's really meant to be a merchant and not a cop.
Redemption Street finds him in 1981, lured into the mystery
of a 1966 hotel fire - one that killed seventeen people, including his
first love - by a long-grieving brother and Moe's own restless
determination to set things right.
Reed Farrel Coleman's crisp, page-turning narrative has Moe trudging
through his childhood summer vacation stomping grounds, the
now-decaying Catskill resort scene. The borscht belt's near-forgotten
landscape of scarred lives, ambitious politicians, and corrupt cops is
the minefield Moe must brave to find the truth. Was the fire really
sparked by a negligent smoker or was it murder? Will the long dead
keep their secrets or divulge their stories? And will what Moe
uncovers lead him down another blind alley or into the bright light of
Redemption Street?
