Description
It’s been six weeks since the rogue Mossad agents, Nooris and Rabinowitz, were recaptured when their attempt to discover the identity of the person who betrayed them was thwarted by the very individual they were seeking. Homicide Detective Isadore Ichowitz is recovering from the wounds he sustained in the incident when Nooris shot him to convince Vito Coratelli to tell them what they wanted to know. Even though Nooris and Rabinowitz are being detained as terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, Ichowitz is concerned that Shona Cohen, the remaining member of the gang, who is still on the loose, is a continuing threat to the well-being of his godson, Assistant District Attorney Jack Regan and his family.
Jack believes Izzy’s concerns are unwarranted. After all, why would someone who is wanted for murder return to Philly, when her companions are in custody with no chance for release, and she still possesses a valuable post-impressionist painting worth millions, ‘The Pitcher’ by Georges Bracque, that her gang stole from the Barnes Foundation?
Jack’s wedding to Kate O’Malley is only 48 hours away, when all hell breaks loose.
Jack and Izzy are ‘requested’ by the CIA to fly to Cuba to assure the former Mossad agents that the deal the U.S. Attorney offered them in return for information that can lead to the apprehension of the new head of Al Qaeda is genuine. Neither Jack nor Izzy can figure out why the terrorists insist on their presence. Jack barely makes it back to Philly in time for the wedding ceremony. Before he can brush the rice from his hair, he has to put his honeymoon plans on hold to help prosecute a multiple murder case against a doctor who ran an abortion mill in West Philly. The doctor is represented by none other than Vito Coratelli.
Izzy’s retirement from the Philadelphia Police Department is derailed, when the remains of four young women, holding hands, are unearthed in a construction site in Fishtown, an old Philadelphia neighborhood near the banks of the Delaware River, that is fast becoming a destination address for artists, toney restaurants and hip young professionals who follow in their wake. The crime scene reminds the Homicide Chief of a murder investigation Izzy handled 40 years ago.
As Ichowitz delves into the mystery of the Fishtown bodies, and Jack’s involvement in the murder case becomes more complicated, their concern for the safety of Kate and her son Liam becomes real, when Nooris and Rabinowitz are released from custody, and no one knows the whereabouts of Shona Cohen.
Is there a connection between the bodies and the case Izzy handled 40 years ago? Are Kate and Liam in harms’ way? Find out in Neal Goldstein’s new novel, Fishtown, the exciting sequel to Murder and Mayhem in Manayunk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neal Goldstein's Fishtown: A Jack Regan/Izzy Ichowitz Novel January 27, 2015By Carol SmithFormat:PaperbackThis is the second book in the Jack Regan/Izzy Ichowitz series. It can be read as a stand alone. I did not read the first book and had no trouble following the storyline. The author creates a effortless flow between the past and present easy for the reader to follow. This is a creative murder mystery with many twists and turns. So grab a cold one and sit back in your comfortable chair then…Hang on tight! This book gets off to a fast start. The tension was thick and well-sustained and had this reader tuned in from page one.
The book moves fast containing a lot of harsh reality. The book covers deceit, betrayal, viciousness, greed, hatred, kidnapping, murder yet it is also filled with faith, friendship, trust, forgiveness and love.
The characters are vivid having great dimension and are very well developed. The setting is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The author was able to mix Philadelphia history into the story. Plus his knowledge of the various procedures in law enforcement
adds to the story’s plot. So if you want a fast paced drama, suspense and romance, make sure you give this book a read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Jack and Izzy Return March 15, 2015By JoelFormat:Paperback|Verified PurchaseFirst, let me say that you do not have to read Murder and Mayhem in Manyunk to understand the who and what of Fishtown, but it wouldn't hurt and it was a fun read. This picks up following the conclusion of the previous novel, but adds an assortment of new characters as well as a new plot line. Jack and Izzy are teamed again to tie up some loose end from Murder, but also are on the trail of new evidence in a case that goes back decades. The author keeps the tale moving as the investigation opens new clues and characters to the storyline. The book has it all... murders, CIA, FBI, Mossad, Phila. Police, Polish mafia, and as always in Goldstein's books an insiders view of Philadelphia buildings, neighborhood and the unique mix of people the city offers. A very enjoyable read. Try it... You'll like it!
