About This Item
NY: Nelson Doubleday, 1976. BCE/BOMC. Hardcover textured. Near Fine/VeryGood. 5.75"x8.5" 725 pgs. Tan boards w/red letters on spine. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Not x-library, unclipped (no price), & unmarked. Mild edge and shelf wear and tone to DJ. Secure ship w/track #. Charlie Chan relies on Oriental inscrutability, Miss Marple on feminine intuition and Shaft on street savvy. When Rabbi David Small is faced with solving a crime, he uses a most curious weapon—Talmudic reasoning. He can see the third side of any question and operates on a brand of internal radar as unpredictable to others as to himself. Those who have read Harry Kemelman's earlier novels will find this 3-in-1 thrill-packed volume a memorable treat.
Monday the Rabbi Took Off. America's favorite detective rabbi takes a vacation in Jerusalem and soon finds himself involved in conspiracy, murder and kidnapping. Action and suspense mount as he proceeds to unravel a mystery that includes Arab terrorists, car dealers and a famous TV commentator.
Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red. Rabbi Small goes to college to teach a course in Jewish philosophy and to enjoy quiet campus life. But shortly after his arrival, the peace is shattered when a fellow instructor is killed by a bomb. The police first arrest student radicals, then a dissident Jewish professor. Using his Talmudic method of looking at a problem from every conceivable angle, Rabbi Small finds a different suspect with a surefire motive: sexual jealousy.
Wednesday the Rabbi Got Wet. The town's most unpopular citizen dies after taking medicine from the local pharmacy. The accused druggist insists the mistake was accidental. Small believes him, but also believes that the dead man was willfully murdered. His pursuit of the ingenious, strangely motivated killer makes Wednesday the most remarkable day yet in the Rabbi's weekly calendar.
Harry Kemelman fans will find Three Days With the Rabbi a delight from beginning to end. Those who have yet to become acquainted with Rabbi Small and Barnard's Crossing have a delectable read in store for them.
