A miracle story ---
Adele Rothstein has buried three husbands and she’s living the good life of a seventy-five year old femme fatale in New York City when God comes calling. Never mind that she doesn’t actually believe in God -- Adele can’t ignore the mysterious black cloud engulfing a handsome boy named Sol in her son the rabbi’s synagogue on a Friday night. After making friends with Sol, tragedy strikes the boy’s mother, and the unlikely duo team up to search for a possible killer.
Of course, once a femme fatale, always a femme fatale. As they pursue the truth, Adele’s affections are torn between a handsome younger man and the older man who was once the love of her life. Sol, too, discovers that love can occur even in the most devastating situations. As Adele and Sol get closer to unravelling the truth, they become the target.
