A Scribe Dies In Brooklyn: A Rabbi Ben Mystery (Rabbi Ben Mysteries)

Rabbi Ben, hero of For Whom The Shofar Blows, is back, and more than ever he's not your bubbe's rebbe: Lured to a clandestine meeting with the President of Israel, Ben is asked to find the long-missing third of the Aleppo Codex, the world's oldest complete Hebrew Bible, rivaled in historical importance only by the Dead Sea Scrolls. The missing pages reportedly surfaced in Brooklyn's Syrian Jewish community, only to vanish again. It's a job that only Ben can handle. Plunging into a strange, quasi-medieval culture that is both Middle Eastern and Iberian, Ben learns that others seek the Codex-and that they don't play nice. His guide to all things Aleppo-on Gravesend Bay is Miryam, the sassy, sexy, sweet, grand-niece of the late and increasingly mysterious man rumored to have smuggled the Codex out of Syria almost 70 years earlier. Sparks fly as mystery veers toward a surprise romance and an ending that you won't see coming.
