The Wreck of Two Brothers

There's trouble afoot in Regency London's Jewish community, and no one to stop the crimes - until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with an unlikely pair: General Well'ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets. When a Dutch diplomat is found murdered in the Great Synagogue, suspicion falls upon a young Englishman who has the same name. Are the names a coincidence, or is there some long-buried secret connection between the two men that has caused the fatal encounter? The Wreck of Two Brothers is the sixth book in the Jewish Regency Mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency England which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor.
