GNab I received a free electronic copy of this true crime novel from Netgalley, Edward Keyes, and Open Road Integrated Media in exchange for an honest review. Thank you all, for sharing your hard work with me.
This police procedural novel based on an actual crime was originally published in 1981. It will publish the end of February, 2017 by Open Road Integrated Media, Mysterious Bookshop, Mysterious Press. Thank you all, for bringing back this excellent who-done-it. There are times you will get frustrated with Tony Farrell, but he is always a sympathetic character and cute enough to be forgiven his foolishness. The bad guys are numerous, and stay in character. Thomas and Stabler and Hartnett are excellent good guys, and the story is crisply told and a mystery long into the tale. And I didn't miss modern electronic communication devices at all....

Good old time detective, mafia, thriller
Resurrected on kindle a tight suspense thriller based loosely on event's in late 1970's in The big city. The villains were larger than life and you knew to clear the area when they were upset.
