Forge Books is delighted to announce the acquisition of the critically acclaimed Abe Lieberman mystery series by Edgar Award winner Stuart M. Kaminsky. The Washington Post calls Lieberman "A figure out of Talmudic lore -- endearing, wise in his crotchets, weary with his wisdom".Abe Lieberman is a strong, sympathetic character, an Everyman whose love for his family is only matched by his quiet, zealous commitment to justice -- a commitment that is sorely tested on the mean streets of Chicago. A moral man, he is sometimes faced with ethical choices in order to see that justice is meted out.The Big Silence takes Lieberman and his Irish partner, Bill Hanrahan -- the Rabbi and the Priest, as they are known on the streets -- on a journey that will test their consciences to the limit. When the young son of an informant in a government witness protection program is kidnapped and a grisly death occurs, Lieberman and Hanrahan will have to make some hard choices to set things right.Told with compassion and a keen insight into the human psyche, The Big Silence is a gritty, compelling mystery.Kaminsky, Stuart M. is the author of 'The Big Silence (An Abe Lieberman Mystery) - Stuart M.
