This is a mystery involving Rabbi Small, living in the small town of Barnard's Crossing. The book was published in the early 1970s, and takes place during the Vietnam War.
Rabbi Small takes a sabbatical from his duties at the local synagogue to teach a course in Jewish philosophy at a nearby college. There is a protest there, and suddenly a bomb goes off. One of the professors is discovered in his office, dead.
Several people are suspected of the murder, including one of the other teachers, one of the younger members of Rabbi Small's congregation in Barnard's Crossing, and one of the older members of his congregation.
I enjoyed this book, and it seemed to reflect the times of the 1970s--or at least as I remember them.
This book fulfills requirement 5. Emotion in the What's in a Name Challenge.
