Lieberman's Thief
"OUTSTANDING ... Another stellar performance, alight with menace and compassion."
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Career burglar George "Pitty-Pitty" Patniks plots his crimes down to the tiniest detail, so hitting the suburban Chicago home of a well-to-do couple is a cinch. He knows exactly what to expect — until murder interrupts his "perfect" heist.
In his sixty-some years, most of them spent as a cop, Abe Lieberman has seen it all. And his instincts tell him that something doesn't add up in the evidence left after Dana Rozier's savage killing. The victim's grieving husband has a solid alibi, and everything points to a burglary gone bad. But the weary, wise Lieberman knows better, as he races with a killer to find the one man who knows the truth...
"A LIVELY, COLORFUL SERIES. Kaminsky is blessed with a finely tuned ear. That, plus an obvious affection for ethnicity (all varieties), enables him to breathe life into characters."
— The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Kaminsky expertly juggles the moods of his prose: comic, scary, murderous."
