Howard Engel is the creator of Canada’s most enduring crime fiction series and private eye, Benny Cooperman – a rumpled, unarmed, decidedly quirky, Jewish detective. Not exactly a stereotypical crime fighter. Filmmakers capture the man behind the sleuth from his early days to his many professional successes. This documentary pays tribute to a remarkable author who suffered a debilitating stroke that left him unable to read, yet not only did he return to writing, but according to reviewers and critics, has never written better than in his most recent work.
