A Murder in the Synagogue: A Detective Petersen Mystery

The rabbi, the cantor . . . and a terrorist . . . or was he? And, was it one murder or two? Detective Fred Petersen, who previously solved the Missing Donuts Mystery, is tasked with unraveling how religion, food and tragedy are intertwined at a suburban synagogue in Upstate New York.
Based on a crime that never happened, A Murder in the Synagogue takes you into the inner workings of a small synagogue and the operations of a small police department, along with the people who run them and the over importance of food. But, most of all, A Murder in the Synagogue is a murder mystery where crime and punishment are turned upside down.
A Murder in the Synagogue is as unique a whodunit as you will ever read; filled with humor, suspense and a heavy dose of donuts. Author Stephen Ostrow has never killed anybody, nor does he ever intend to kill anybody. However, he has seen how anger can get out of hand and he has also witnessed how friends can turn on each other for reasons that seem trivial after the fact. Combine all this with the varied characters that regularly attend a synagogue, a church, a political organization or any social club and you have the foundation of A Murder in the Synagogue.
