A landmark work in American mystery fiction, Friday the Rabbi Slept Late introduces Rabbi David Small, a young, intellectually rigorous clergyman in the fictional town of Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts. When the body of a young woman is discovered in the synagogue parking lot, suspicion falls uncomfortably close to the Rabbi himself, threatening both his freedom and his newly appointed position. Drawing on Talmudic reasoning and sharp logical deduction, Rabbi Small applies his formidable intellect to uncover the truth before the congregation loses faith in him. Harry Kemelman crafts a richly atmospheric and culturally authentic mystery that launched one of the most beloved detective series in American crime fiction, winning the Edgar Award for Best First Novel in 1965.
