When Alan Borman, a successful attorney, sees himself lying face down on the street with three bullet holes in his back he has one problem - he doesn't remember dying. Walking down improbably long white corridors in a place he assumes is heaven, Borman shuttles between Interrogation Room 989 G and a room where the 56-volume collection of his worst deeds sits upon a shelf. With the assistance of Detective Lefkowitz, Borman discovers that the decisions he'd made during his life - even ones he may have given little or no thought to - had spun webs with fibers long enough to snare him years down the road. One such web involves Arlene Jaffe, a girl who'd had a crush on Borman in the seventh grade. One incident in their lives back then - a childish act with consequences far more horrific than Borman ever could have calculated - bonds their fates together more than twenty years later. The novel alternates between Borman's murder investigation and Arlene Jaffe's attempts to overcome, finally, the aftereffects of being raped by her uncle. SHAKING HANDS WITH LEFKOWITZ, in a Colombo meets Touched By An Angel manner, reveals the profound meaning behind even our smallest moments. Read Chapters Listen to Chapters     Buy the book
