Brilliant Holocaust survivor Frank Wolf, now a private eye who investigates with the assistance of his lawyer grandson, specializes in cases the police cannot solve due to the insular nature of many Jewish communities in 1970s New York City. In Were the Angels Wrong?, Frank and Joel tackle a murder that hits too close to home. With the police convinced they have their man, Frank and Joel must prove a close family friend's innocence-despite overwhelming evidence.

Were the Angels Wrong? is a gripping historical mystery and a realistic portrait of a New York City that once was, filled with believable characters and a detective whose wit and compassion set him apart from every other sleuth to hit the mean city streets.
