Canada's top private eye is back in Boston Cream, the sequel to the Arthur Ellis Award-winning novels Buffalo Jump and High Chicago.
David Fine is not the kind of guy to go missing. Or so his father tells PI Jonah Geller. A brilliant young surgeon-in-training, devout, devoted to his parents—last seen 2 weeks ago leaving the Boston hospital where he worked. Still recovering from a concussion, Jonah and partner Jenn Raudsepp soon find out that David fled for his life after a vicious Irish crime boss tried to abduct him. And that he's more likely dead than alive. Then Jenn joins the ranks of the missing, and Jonah needs help from former hit man Dante Ryan and two local wise guys as he races the clock to save her life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Boston serves as the backdrop for Shrier's explosive third crime novel featuring Jonah Geller, a Toronto PI with a penchant for cases south of the border. When the Brookline, Mass., police are unable to find David Fine, a "transplant fellow" and devout Jew who's disappeared from Boston's Sinai Hospital, Fine's parents hire Geller to investigate. Aided by partner Jenn Raudsepp, Geller follows a twisted trail that involves Fine's distinguished transplant surgeon boss; a mob guy with a new scam; Fine's rabbi; a Boston lawyer whose wife needs a kidney; and an Indian grocer who vanished the week before Fine. When Raudsepp's life is on the line, Geller calls in reinforcements, including a friend who's a former contract killer, and prepares for war. Having won Arthur Ellis Awards for 2008's Buffalo Jump and 2009's Chicago High, Shrier should make it three in a row with this excellent effort.
