Mikvah: A body of water used for ritual immersion in Judaism. An attack at a local mikvah rocks a small Jewish community, leaving a holocaust survivor dead and the wife of a popular rabbi clinging to life. Peter Stem, a reclusive church employee has been arrested at the scene and taken into custody in what appears to be an anti-Semitic attack against two helpless women. Advocating for Peter is his employer, Father Herbert McCormick, a blind priest, who refuses to believe Peter capable of this or any crime. Using his personal relationship with John Collins, the arresting officer whom he has counseled in the past, Father McCormick steers the investigation in a new direction, one that requires the help of a renowned psychiatrist-a man who has a growing interest in both Peter's case and the Rabbi's mother-and will ultimately reveal a bigger secret than any of them could have imagined.
Obsession with a religious imperative leads a man to reason that if he kills the right people, their mourners will solve his problem. Is it too late to stop him?
Describes the murder of Rabbi Morris Adler, in Congregation Shaarey Zedek.
Mo Shuman, a homicide detective who is about to retire at the Twelfth Precinct on the Lower East Side, catches the murder of Aaron Cohen, a yeshiva student whose body is found beneath the Williamsburg Bridge. In solving the murder with his homicide squad, Shuman must come to grips with his own demons. Murder at the Yeshiva is a suspenseful story of greed, sexual abuse and murder against the backdrop of a cloistered religious community. Detective Shuman finds himself at the center of a political struggle as he hunts down the murderer with grim determination at the same time he is being hunted down himself. Murder at the Yeshiva starts with a simple premise – but murder is seldom simple; especially when it’s immersed in subterfuge with concurrently-running subplots and special interests. Slowly, readers become privy to information that Shuman does not know – and just as slowly, the gears of a murder machine begin to come together and ramp up. Part of the compelling draw of Murder at the Yeshiva is this attention to detail, which takes a relatively straightforward scenario and develops it into something unexpectedly complex. And while readers who want quick action and predictable paths in their murder mysteries may find themselves chafing at the bit of a slower-moving plot than some, the pleasure here lies in this exquisitely delicate evolutionary process. S. Bird takes the time to build characters, atmosphere, subplots, motives, and mystery. Under his hand the plot thickens like a pudding, carefully stirred and tended until, many chapters into the story, readers find themselves thoroughly immersed in a well-cooked saga that’s as much about Shuman’s evolution as it is about solving a murder.

"Beautiful Deena Vogler's devout adherence to the tenets of Orthodox Judaism has consigned her to a living hell. Her sadistic husband Jake refuses to grant Deena a 'get' -- the religious divorce that will set her free. But providence intervenes when her violent spouse is found murdered in an empty Los Angeles house. Deena Vogler has escaped one nightmare -- only to be thrust into another. For her devotion to ancient and revered principles will not shield her from the wrath of a legal system that would brand her a murderess -- nor protect her from a killer who might be intent on rejoining Deena and Jake...in death."--Back cover.

First in the New York Times–bestselling series and winner of the Edgar Award: A new rabbi in a small New England town investigates the murder of a nanny. David Small is the new rabbi in the small Massachusetts town of Barnard’s Crossing.
