Before he could answer, Amy exclaimed, “Oh, look, Hugh. Look what Miriam brought me. It's a Jerusalem cross.”
Lanigan reached for his wallet. “What do I owe you, David?”
The rabbi shook his head. “Nothing. It's a gift.”
“Gee, thanks.”
“Oh, thank you, Miriam, David. It's just what I wanted.”
“You didn't have any trouble buying it?” asked Lanigan. “I mean, it wasn't any bother for you, was it, David?”
The rabbi shook his head. “No bother at all.”
About the Author
Harry Kemelman (1908â1996) was best known for his popular rabbinical mystery series featuring the amateur sleuth Rabbi David Small. Kemelman wrote twelve novels in the series, the first of which,
Friday the Rabbi Slept Late
, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. This book was also adapted as an NBC made-for-TV movie, and the Rabbi Small Mysteries were the inspiration for the NBC television show
Lanigan's Rabbi
. Kemelman's novels garnered praise for their unique combination of mystery and Judaism, and with Rabbi Small, the author created a protagonist who played a part-time detective with wit and charm. Kemelman also wrote a series of short stories about Nicky Welt, a college professor who used logic to solve crimes, which were published in a collection entitled
The Nine Mile Walk
.
Aside from being an award-winning novelist, Kemelman, originally from Boston, was also an English professor.
