This is Segal's first novel, and has been described as a riveting whodunit about an attack at the local mikvah that rocks a small Jewish community, leaving a Holocaust survivor dead and the wife of a popular rabbi clinging to life.

Cost to attend the brunch is $10 per person; the community is invited to attend. Checks should be made out and mailed to Beth El Synagogue, P.O. Box 3133, 500 N. Jerome Ave., Margate, JN 08402. For information call 823-2725.
