Yiddish Policemans UnionThe Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
Wednesday, March 7th, 7pm at Longfellow Books

Homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. And in the cheap hotel where Landsman has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under his nose. When he begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy, word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, and Landsman finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, evil, and salvation that are his heritage.  At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.

The Box 'o' Chocolates will be meeting at Longfellow Books on Wednesday, March 7th at 7:00 pm to discuss Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union.  Come pick up your copy with the book group 20% discount and join us for an evening filled with fun, books and  refreshments!
