National Jewish Book Award (1999)

In the seamy atmosphere of Miami Beach's Collins Avenue, Mila Katz, a streaky card shark and confidante of mobsters, lives by the wits with which she has survived the Holocaust. "Second Hand Smoke" is the story of Mila's sons, Issac and Duncan, the one secretly abandoned in Poland, and the other, American-born, raised as an avenging Nazi hunter, poisoned with rage.

Told in bursts of fractured realism and dark comedy, "Second Hand Smoke" is a postmodern mystery of great lyrical power, deep insight, and emotional resonance.
