'Sustained tension holds the excitement at fever pitch' -- Aberdeen Evening Express on FERTILE GROUND
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
LAPD detective Jessie Drake is immediately suspicious when she comes across the case of Mr Nathan Pomeranz. His body had been moved. He was found with an unlabelled vial of digitalis in his pocket, yet he had never been prescribed any. He had been in LA on a somewhat secretive mission, which he was very excited about. A holocaust survivor, it seems he was looking forward to receiving some sort of compensation. Jessie is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, despite the willingness of her seniors to write the case off as a routine heart attack. It must be the fact that she has recently discovered her own mother is Jewish. If only she can bring about justice for Mr Pomeranz, maybe she can finally let her own past lie...

Jessie Drake is wonderful again
27 Jan 1999
Format:Hardcover
I enjoyed jessie Drake as the Detective determined to get to the bottom of an old man's death.Murder or Natural and she is the only one that persues it to find out.I laughed and I cried ,but most of all I loved the book with all the struggles that Jessie confronts.Rochelle Krich has become my favorite author and she did not disappoint me and I was glad to have Jessie back and I hope she returns again.

Drake story is as rich a police procedural to be found
1 Jan 1999
Format:Hardcover
When the senior citizen was found dead in a Los Angeles park, the brass decides to ignore the case because other more critical investigations were on going. Besides, the higher-ups rationalized that the deceased probably died of a heart attack. However, police detective Jessie Drake cannot let the case go unresolved after learning that the elderly man had concentration camp numbers engraved on his arm. Jessie has just learned about her own connection to the Nazi horrors.
Jessie soon learns the identity of the man and begins to follow his footsteps over the last few days of his life. This quickly leads her to conclude that a serial killer is on the loose, targeting holocaust survivors. Her path soon leads to the prestigious Steel Foundation, a philanthropic group dedicated to help the survivors regain the assets lost during WW II. However, Jessie begins to wonder if the organization has a more sinister, avaricious, and deadly reason for assisting Jews.
BLOOD MONEY is as deep of a police procedural as can be found on the market today. The non-stop story line is built around a fabulous who-done-it, but it is the historical questions that add savory flavor to the novel. Jessie remains a great person, who personalizes her investigation to the point of obsession, which in turn, provides readers with much insight and depth intoto a wonderful character. Fans of police procedurals will relish Rochelle Krich's BLOOD MONEY and clearly want to read the two previous Drake mysteries (FERTILE GROUND and ANGEL OF DEATH). - Harriet Klausner
