A funny, gritty historical thriller set in the world of Jewish basketball players in the 1930s, based very loosely on actual characters and events. Inky Lautman, star point guard for the South Philadelphia Hebrew All-Stars, finds himself at the center of a conspiracy to humiliate American Jews after his coach unwittingly incurs a gambling debt to the German-American Bund. Packed with action, intrigue, comedy, and romance, Jewball is a fresh take on an often-overlooked corner of Jewish cultural history, written in an authentic 1930s noir style.
