In Redemption Street, retired NYPD officer and newly minted PI Moe
Prager travels up to a decaying Borscht Belt hotel to uncover the truth
behind a decades-old fire that killed 17 people, including his
high-school crush. Away from his beloved Brooklyn and out of his
element, Moe finds that the locals aren't as eager to dredge up the
painful past or to stir up the embers of that long-dead fire as he seems
to be.
In fact the cast of locals--a washed-up comedian, an ambitious
politician, a corrupt cop, a pint-sized Hitler, the leader of a
mysterious Jewish cult--seem rather intent on doing their level best to
make certain the circumstances surrounding the fire stay buried along
with the charred bodies of the dead. Moe Prager's gift, however, is
coaxing secrets out of the silent past. But will the truth lead to
Redemption Street or his own dead end?
