Jewish crime fiction

[BustedFlush]

For those who enjoy a dash of Judaism in your crime fiction, you should definitely check out the works of two-time Edgar Award-nominated Jewish novelist Reed Farrel Coleman.  His series about Jewish private eye in 1980s Brooklyn has been nominated for ten mystery awards in the last three years, and won four of the awards.  Start with either the first in the series, WALKING THE PERFECT SQUARE, or the second, REDEMPTION STREET, in which Moe travels to the Catskills as he reopens an investigation into a decades-old fire that claimed a Borscht Belt hotel, as well as the lives of seventeen people.  Here's a complete list of the books in the series:

WALKING THE PERFECT SQUARE (2001)

REDEMPTION STREET (2004)

THE JAMES DEANS (2005)

SOUL PATCH (2007)

EMPTY EVER AFTER (2008)

Enjoy!  :-)
