Ain't Love Enough: A Dave Rifkin Mystery

By Howard J. Schwach

Retired detective Dave and his wife, Linda, are back in New York City after their adventures in Israel and life is not quite what the couple expected it to be. Dave has become an alcoholic and a womanizer and Linda has thrown him out of their Manhattan apartment. He is angry, depressed and drunk, so when he wakes up one morning duct-taped to a chair in a dilapidated bungalow on the Atlantic Ocean shorefront in Rockaway, he is not really surprised. He becomes surprised and alarmed, however, when responding police officers find the dead body of a woman floating in the surf nearby and that woman turns out to be Dave's nemesis from Israel, a woman who was assumed to be rotting away in an Israeli prison. Did he kill her? He can't remember. This begins a new mystery involving the legitimacy of the State of Israel that takes him and Linda from the bungalow to the honky-tonks and bar-b-que joints of Nashville (Tennessee) and finally, to a former airport in Brooklyn that has become a national park. Filled with mystery and mayhem, "Ain't Love Enough will have you asking for more of Dave and Linda.
