We Were Kings: The Boston Saga, cartea 2
Autor Thomas O'Malley, Douglas Graham Purdyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 iun 2016
In
1950's
Boston,
the
Irish
Republican
Army
is
running
guns
and
killing
witnesses.
Cal
and
Dante
are
committed
to
stopping
them.
When
a
body
is
discovered
at
the
Charlestown
locks--tarred,
feathered
and
shot
to
death--it
appears
to
be
a
gangland
killing,
and
is
almost
immediately
dismissed.
However,
Cal
O'Brien's
cousin,
Boston
PD
detective
Owen
Lackey,
recognizes
the
murder
style
as
the
typical
retribution
for
IRA
informers.
Combined
with
a
tip-off
about
a
boat
coming
into
Boston
weighed
down
with
stolen
guns
and
ammunition,
the
body
in
the
locks
hints
that
much
more
may
be
at
stake
than
a
one-off
hit.
Serpents
in
the
Coldintroduced
us
to
Cal
and
Dante,
whose
previous
investigation
brought
them
to
the
highest
ranks
of
Boston's
political
elite.
This
time,
Cal
and
Dante
descend
into
the
city's
shadowy
underbelly--a
world
of
packed
dance
halls,
Irish
wakes,
and
funeral
parlors.
There
they
discover
a
terrorist
plot
that
will
shake
the
city
to
its
core
and
bring
them
head-to-head
not
only
with
Cal's
past,
but
with
the
IRA
Army
Council
itself.
