Condition remarks: Some foxing on block
A brilliantly intellectual mystery where ancient Talmudic logic meets the turbulent culture clashes of the 1960s. In the quiet seaside town of Barnard's Crossing, Rabbi David Small finds his position more precarious than ever. As his contract renewal looms, the congregation is fractured by internal politics, generational divides, and whispers of a rival temple. Seeking a brief respite from the bickering, the scholarly Rabbi finds himself instead at the center of a much darker storm when a local drug dealer is found dead and the teenage children of several prominent community members fall under a cloud of suspicion. Caught between a rebellious youth culture and a rigid board of directors, Rabbi Small must navigate a world of "tuned-out" hippies and racial tensions. When the evidence points toward the innocent and the police reach a dead end, can the Rabbi use the razor-sharp deduction of the Talmud to unmask the real killer before the town's tensions explode?
