In Boris Riskin’s Deadly Bones Jake Wanderman, Riskin’s Shakespeare-quoting anti-hero, who first appeared in Scrambled Eggs (2005) makes his second appearance.
In Scrambled Eggs he took on the art world (and the Russian Mafia) with a tale about Faberge eggs. Now, in Deadly Bones, he once more plunges into this world when TV star Toby Welch, a Martha Stewartish type, persuades Jake to help solve the vicious murder of her art dealer father.
Jake soon learns that her father was involved in not-so-kosher deals. Further investigation leads him to the alleys of the old city of Jerusalem where he again encounters Russian Mafia goons as well as fake gurus, fake art, and a stunning Jerusalem Police Department Sergeant. All the while, Wanderman, with his inimitable Brooklyn-wise-guy style never misses a chance to add a pinch of two of Shakespeare to the proceedings.

REVIEW :
This is an excellent book (and the first that I'm aware of) about the late great Al Simmons of the Phila. Silver Surfer stories do not get any better than this! Greg Pak is one of Marvel best scribes. He has found a nice balance between the normal life we all live and question and his rock star life we all dream about!. Former US Marshal Alex Kinton lies his way onto the team. Had he written ten years later, he might have found valid parallels in post-Soviet US policy. I received this book as a gift. A real shame, since she chose such a very rich background, and introduced a new character with real possibilities.
Not as good in this case still means excellent; the first two books were superlative. There are also helpful questions to test your organization's current applications of the concept at the end of each CEO's chapter.
What's not new about the book is any informati
