"Mrs. Gross and Mrs. Kahn were both elderly tenants on West End Avenue. Both lived--and suddenly died--in buildings undergoing million-dollar co-op conversions. And--most sinister of all--neither of them had cockroaches.

Housing Court attorney Nina Fischman's life is unravelling. Her job is running her ragged, and she can't decide whether to leave her nice WASP boyfriend--or marry him. But when two reasonably healthy old ladies die in very valuable apartments, Nina begins to supsect murder. Now all she has to do is convince Judah Lev, a short, younger, Orthodox prosecutor in the D. A.'s office, that something's not kosher...and figure out whey she's so attracted to him. In the meantime, Ida, Nina's sharp-witted mom, is on the case. After all, isn't detective just another word for yenta?"
