About this product
Product Information
In the third installment of the Amos Parisman Mysteries series, Amos finds himself on the twisted trail of a dangerous killer as he enters the heart of inequity in his community. Amos Parisman, L.A.'s oldest and most stubborn Jewish gumshoe, has never learned how to properly retire. He has little to do and his options are narrowing day by day, until he stumbles across the body of a local homeless woman in Park La Brea. Despite the instruction of Amos' comrade, Lieutenant Malloy, who tells him not to get involved, the police find that they could use someone unconventional like Parisman, someone who knows the neighborhood and is willing to go the extra mile. As more homeless people begin turning up dead in the area, though, Amos soon realizes he is hunting a serial killer with a gruesome vendetta against the vulnerable and disadvantaged. Battling moral and civil questions regarding the invisible class, The Kindness of Strangers is a gripping look into the lives of those who sleep in the dust, the value we place on those who aren't like us, and the damage that homelessness inflicts on the human spirit.

Reviews
"There's a melancholy tone of loss in Weinberger's follow-up to Reason to Kill . The purposeful pace is befitting of the aging Amos as he tackles a case whose victims are largely neglected by society . " Library Journal "Smoothly paced . . . [ The Kindness of Strangers ] has all the characteristics of traditional noir--harsh urban street life versus cloistered affluence; cheap dives and hangouts; an eclectic mix of eccentric secondary characters . . . Weinberger offers a gentle counterbalance to Walter Mosley's more hard-knuckled Easy Rawlins series." Publishers Weekly "A wonderful voice, great storytelling, and a completely unique character." First Clue "Down in L.A., Andy Weinberger's detective Amos Parisman is a Talmudic gumshoe--he's ethically motivated, and often in his investigations, life is really more about asking the right questions than assuming you will actually find the right answers. (I daydream Parisman meeting Eddie Muller, the host of Noir Alley for TCM, in a dive near the Chateau Marmont and talking all night.) Since Weinberger 'started late' as a writer, it's only fair to his loyal readers that he finds a way to continue writing about Amos Parisman and Lieutenant Malloy well into the afterlife. Weinberger is an astonishingly gifted and big-hearted storyteller." --Howard Norman, author of Next Life Might Be Kinder "If you wish someone still wrote classic, hard-boiled detective novels, Andy Weinberger does! Every installment in this series is a pure pleasure to read, and The Kindness of Strangers is no exception. Amos Parisman is a cantankerous but large-hearted old man pursuing wrongdoers for all the right reasons. His voice is pitch-perfect, and the Los Angeles he inhabits is instantly familiar. Any fan of authentic detective fiction will adore this novel." Amy Stewart, bestselling author of the Kopp Sisters Series "The Kindness of Strangers combines an engrossing mystery with a vivid feeling of humanity. The Amos Parisman series is equal parts suspenseful and soulful, witty and worldly wise, entertaining and heart-breaking. And he's Jewish, too! What's not to like?"
