Seit über einem Jahr ist er dem Projekt Mars zugeteilt, das so geheim ist, dass selbst Kelly nicht weiß, worum es sich dabei genau handelt.

Hinter dem Projekt, das offiziell der Verbesserung des menschlichen Lebens dienen soll, verbirgt sich das Potential zu Gewalt und Vernichtung. Diese schreckliche Erkenntnis zwingt Kelly zu einer Entscheidung. Soll er die Augen vor der Wahrheit verschließen und seinen Job behalten, wie er es immer getan hat, oder soll er seine Karriere riskieren und den Mann retten, der ihm das Herz geraubt hat?

Lieberman's Choice (The Abe Lieberman Mysteries #2)
by Stuart M. KaminskyTwo Chicago cops need to defuse an explosive situation in this &“tightly plotted&” police procedural (Chicago Tribune). After killing his wife and her lover, an unhinged and heavily armed Chicago cop named Bernie Shepard barricades himself at the top of a high-rise apartment building and sends a message to the police: meet his demands, or he&’ll detonate enough explosives to blow the whole block sky high. If it&’s a choice between chewing the fat at his brother Maish&’s deli or hunting down armed lunatics, world-weary veteran cop Abe Lieberman knows where he stands. But no one&’s giving him a choice. It&’s up to Lieberman and his longtime partner, Bill Hanrahan—aka the Rabbi and Father Murphy—to play Bernie&’s game, betting their lives on a madman&’s whim. With a crazed cop holding &“enough explosives to blow the North Side of Chicago to kingdom come . . . Kaminsky mines plenty of suspense&” (The New York Times Book Review).
Lieberman's Day (The Abe Lieberman Mysteries #3)
by Stuart M. KaminskyA Chicago cop is out to avenge his nephew&’s murder in this &“masterly creation&” that puts the Edgar Award–winning author in &“the Parker/Paretsky league&” (Chicago Tribune). When you&’re a sixty-two-year-old cop with bad knees, most days feel pretty long. But the longest day of Abe Lieberman&’s life begins just after midnight when he learns his nephew David has been shot dead and David&’s pregnant wife has been gravely injured by two gunmen trying to rob the couple. Now Carol is barely clinging to life, and it&’s up to Lieberman to track down the killers. With the help of his partner, the troubled alcoholic Bill Hanrahan, Lieberman will turn the city upside down to find the men who stole his nephew&’s bright future. But as they step out into the howling Chicago wind, it&’s clear both partners will need to fight to survive the day that started out terrible and is about to get a lot worse. This day in the life of two veteran Chicago cops is &“beautifully rendered . . . Kaminsky is extraordinarily attuned to the domestic minutiae of his detectives&’ lives&” (The New York Times Book Review).
Lieberman's Folly (The Abe Lieberman Mysteries #1)
by Stuart M. KaminskyThe first novel in a crime series about &“two Chicago cops, one Jewish, one Irish . . . Told with deceptive simplicity [and] a gentle wit&” (The Boston Globe). Detectives Abe Lieberman and Bill Hanrahan have been partners a long time—long enough to call each other &“Rabbi&” and &“Father Murphy.&” Lieberman is sixty, a grandfather, and a devout Jew. Hanrahan is a lapsed Catholic who&’s been hitting the bottle pretty heavily ever since his wife walked out on him. They may be flawed, but they&’re good cops. But even good cops have bad days. On a hot Chicago afternoon, Lieberman would prefer to be watching his beloved Cubs from the bleachers at Wrigley Field instead of sitting in his brother Maish&’s deli with Hanrahan, meeting a prostitute and valued informant. But Estralda Valdez needs their protection from a psychotic john, and the partners agree to watch her back on their off-duty time. That Friday night, while Lieberman is in temple, Hanrahan has the first watch, across the street from Estralda&’s apartment in a Chinese restaurant. But while he passes the time with two doubles and flirts with the waitress, the beautiful prostitute is brutally murdered. Tortured by guilt and chewed out by their chief, Lieberman and Hanrahan race against the clock to find the killer. They owe at least that much to Estralda. Lieberman&’s Folly is &“first-rate work, featuring characters you can almost touch and streets you can almost walk on, and an expertly plotted story&” (The Phildelphia Inquirer).
Lieberman's Law (Abe Lieberman Mystery #5)
by Stuart KaminskyPolice detective Abe Lieberman is reminded just how deep hate and revenge can go when the temple he and his wife attend is vandalized. Local skinheads are involved, and the rampage has just begun.
Lieberman's Law (The Abe Lieberman Mysteries #5)
by Stuart M. KaminskyWhen his temple is defaced, Lieberman battles Chicago's most hateful citizensOver a decades-long career in Chicago homicide, Abe Lieberman has something most cops only dream of: a personal life. He has hobbies, a wife, and a grandchild who is about to celebrate his bar mitzvah. But Lieberman's personal and professional lives collide when his temple is attacked by vandals, and he uncovers a river of hate that runs right through the heart of Chicago's North Side. Too moderate for the hard-liners, too outspoken to win friends among the Arabs, the Conservative Temple Mir Shavot is caught in the middle of the Israeli-Palestinian debate. When a hate group breaks into the temple, scrawling graffiti and stealing a valuable Torah, Lieberman must decide if the guilty party was neo-Nazis, militant Palestinians--even, perhaps, a group of uncompromising Orthodox Jews. Death waits at the intersection of politics and religion, and Abe Lieberman must face it head on.
Lieberman's Thief (The Abe Lieberman Mysteries #4)
by Stuart M. KaminskyAn Edgar Award–winning author steals the show again in &“a beautifully calibrated mix of wit, suspense, and quiet honesty&” (The Washington Post Book World). It should have been an easy score—a suburban house on a quiet cul-de-sac, with the owners scheduled to be gone all night. But career burglar George Patniks has chosen the wrong time to go breaking and entering, because tonight Harvey Rozier will murder his wife. Patniks is the only witness to the brutal killing, but of course he can&’t go to the police. Wise, world-weary Homicide Det. Abe Lieberman has been lied to a lot in his long career on the Chicago police force. Rozier&’s claim of a robbery-gone-wrong just doesn&’t add up, but Lieberman needs hard evidence to confirm his gut instinct. Along with his partner, Bill Hanrahan, Lieberman is looking for a break—and he just might get one . . . if the killer doesn&’t catch the thief first. &“Outstanding . . . Another stellar performance, alight with menace and compassion.&” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
