About this Book

It's 1933 in Newark, New Jersey and life is not terrific for saloon-keeper, Hymie Bender, a 40 year old, hardworking Polish immigrant. However when Death, a dapper figure in black and goatee, drops by to collect Hymie, Hymie tries to give him an argument. His wisecracking, suspiciously virtuous new hired hand, Adam, who now reveals himself as an angel, comes to Hymie's rescue. Adam beats Death at a game of cards and wins Hymie a reprieve. If a willing substitute can be found within the next four months (Death has a quota, after all) Hymie's life will be spared. But can anyone be found who's willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of another?The search begins.
