FOLLY: An I Ching Mystery

Folly is Mickey Friedman’s second I Ching Mystery and the sequel to Danger Times Two. Frank Falco, former New York City Detective, and now the Assistant Police Chief in the small town of Ripton, Massachusetts in the heart of the Berkshire Hills is faced with a series of perplexing break-ins in the empty homes of some wealthy weekenders. With the help of his sister Katie and her three llama coins and the ancient Chinese oracle, the “I Ching,” Frank confronts the confused boundaries between order and disorder, and the complicated issues of crime and punishment.
