Rabbi Elijah Daniels experiences more than a little anxiety when he agrees to tour Germany. His good friend, Pastor Dan Winter, assures him it will be a good experience, and the Evangelical students he would accompany would benefit from a rabbi's perspective as they tour the country. The rabbi nonetheless worries about how he will respond to the nation that massacred more than six million Jews during World War II. After his arrival, though, he encounters more challenges than he bargained for. He becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a woman who works in the institute where he is staying. A brown shirt with a yellow Star of David, his tzedakah dollar found in the murdered woman's hand and a determined German police kommissar mean serious danger for Rabbi Daniels, who worries he might not be able to solve the mystery of the woman's death before finding himself behind bars. What does the secret group that meets on the institute's second floor have to do with it? Could the young Arab woman's murder have been an honor killing? And why is the rabbi being set up? Follow Rabbi Daniels as he searches for clues to the killer or killers, all the while tailed by a very suspicious kommissar. 

 

Arthur Gross-Schaefer
Professor/Rabbi Arthur Gross Schaefer, JD, CPA (inactive), MAHL, DD (honoris causa), is a full professor of business law, ethics, mysticism, and sustainability at Loyola Marymount University. He has been listed by the Princeton Review as one of the top 300 university professors nationally. He consults with non-profit and profit-based organizations on issues such as effective ethical decision-making, sexual harassment, and time management. He publishes and speaks on diverse topics including academic freedom, professional ethics and burnout, spiritually in the workplace, and immigrant rights. The Rabbi is the spiritual leader for The Community Shul of Montecito and Santa Barbara, California. Prior to this position, he serves as a congregational rabbi for several communities and interim Hillel rabbi at the University of Southern California, the University of California at Santa Barbara, as well as the founding Hillel Rabbi at Loyola Marymount University. He co-founded the Avi Schaefer Fund in memory of his son. His wife, Laurie Gross, is an internationally known artist and liturgical consultant. He has crafted, so far, three books in his Rabbi Elija Daniels mystery series.

"Mystery meets mysticism in Arthur Gross Schaefer's page-turning sequel to The Rabbi Wore Moccasins. This time Rabbi Elijah Daniels dons a fedora as the unlikely leader of a group of evangelical Christian students touring Germany - and winds up the wrong mensch when he finds himself key suspect in a violent murder. Rabbi Gross Schaefer's wit and wisdom inform every page of this tightly plotted tale. I can't wait for the next installment!"
