A Moe Prager Mystery
It's 1967 and Moe Prager is wandering aimlessly through his college
career and his life. All that changes when his girlfriend Mindy is
viciously beaten into a coma and left to die on the snow-covered streets
of Brooklyn. Suddenly, Moe has purpose. He is determined to find out
who's done this to Mindy and why. But Mindy is not the only person in
Moe's life who's in danger. Someone is also trying to kill his best and
oldest friend, Bobby Friedman.
Things get really strange when Moe enlists the aid of Lids, a
half-cracked genius drug pusher from the old neighborhood. Lids hooks
Moe up with his first solid information. Problem is, the info seems to
take Moe in five directions at once and leads to more questions than
answers. How is a bitter old camp survivor connected to the dead man in
the apartment above his fixit shop, or to the OD-ed junkie found on the
boardwalk in Coney Island? What could an underground radical group have
to do with the local Mafioso capo? And where do Mindy and Bobby fit into
any of this?
Moe will risk everything to find the answers. He will travel from the
pot-holed pavement of Brighton Beach to the Pocono Mountains to the
runways at Kennedy Airport. But no matter how far he goes or how fast he
gets there, all roads lead to Onion Street.
