is a classic Boston based murder
mystery that continues where
DEAD MEN TALK left off. It is
the further adventures of Private
Investigator
and ex-cop Jack Kelly. This
time, Kelly is exposed to a
more depraved side of the
cutthroat business of the
cheap detective. A story of
greed and lust set against a
backdrop of blues, jazz
music, and the incredibly
rich and dirt poor Boston
neighborhoods. As is usual
with Jack Kelly, the bodies
start to pile up. And as
always, the salty and
sometimes philosophical
dialogues pierce the mind
and heart. But this time, a
young girl's life is held in a
death trap and her time is
running out.
In this action-packed
thriller, Kelly and his cast of
characters, Lieutenant
Jessica Paris, Willie
Crawford, The Musicians,
and the Soul Brothers
utilize some classic
hard-nosed police work to
uncover a sinister plot
involving multiple murders
and a fortune of oceanic
proportions. And there are
sharks in the water.
This bold modern day
mystery is cutting edge,
both fast and irreverently
funny. It reads like a fresh
and brazen film noir and will
translate well to film.
