[Rabbi Ben 02] • A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn

A thrilling mystery, a romance and a detective like no other.

Lured to a clandestine meeting with the President of Israel, Ben Maimon is asked to find the long-vanished third of the Aleppo Codex, 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. 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 increasingly mysterious man rumored to have smuggled the Codex out of Syria decades earlier. Sparks fly as mystery veers toward a surprise romance and an ending that you won’t see coming.
