REDEMPTION STREET – VG
Reed Farrel Coleman – 3rd in series
Moe Prager—retired New York City cop-turned-wine shop owner—still possessed of his vintage police savvy, and is, perhaps, the only
Jewish licensed PI in the five boroughs, Moe wonders if he’s really meant to be a merchant and not a cop. Redemption Street finds him in 1981, lured into the mystery of a 1966 hotel fire—one that killed seventeen people, including his first love—by a long-grieving brother and Moe’s own restless determination to set things right.
Coleman is an excellent writer and Moe is a wonderful, fully-dimensional character who, while a tough ex-cop, is human with a family
he loves and secrets he carries. His descriptions are well done and his style has a wonderful flow, but a poignancy that leaves you knowing you’ll be waiting for his next book. There is good suspense and twists along the way. Highly recommended
