You're dead. You're in Heaven's waiting room. You're going over everything you've ever done and you see that something you did when you were thirteen years old, a small but thoughtless act, ultimately changed someone else's life, forever. What if you now had a chance to make it right?

SHAKING HANDS WITH LEFKOWITZ, a deft murder mystery narrated by the victim, is funny, emotional, thoughtful, metaphysical, a scream, a mindbinder, and a Heavenuva good whodoneit. In LEFKOWITZ, Mel Foster crosses paths with Mitch Albom, Robert B. Parker, and maybe the Kabbalah -- all at the same time! If the supernatural had a heart, a sense of humor, and a conscience, its name would be LEFKOWITZ.
