Suicide Murders

Book 1 of the Benny Cooperman Series

by Howard Engel

When Myrna Yates visits private investigator Benny Cooperman to look into her husband Chester’s suspected infidelity, what begins as a routine case takes a sudden, dark turn. Shortly after the investigation starts, Chester is found dead of an apparent suicide. However, when Cooperman discovers that Chester purchased a 10-speed bicycle just two hours before his death, he begins to suspect foul play. As the investigation deepens, the Jewish detective uncovers a web of secrets far more sinister than a simple affair, forcing him to determine if this "suicide" is actually a cold-blooded murder.
