Whole Megillah: A Benny Cooperman Mystery (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

We find Benny Cooperman, the most endearing private eye in Canadian literature, sprung from his small-town home in Grantham near Niagara Falls and working in Toronto.

You and I know that he's just visiting the Queen City, the capital of Ontario, to see his girlfriend, Anna Abraham, who is lecturing for a month in the summer at the University of Toronto.

But Benny can't seem to avoid getting drawn into criminal matters. A dealer in rare books asks him to investigate the theft of an ancient Jewish manuscript. While he's immersed in the strange world of antique book collectors, his client turns up dead and he finds that the robbery isn't all it seems. It's Benny at his best.
