Detective John Francis Cuddy is hired to find the missing son of a noted Massachusetts judge.
Tough Boston private eye John Cuddy accepts a simple job as a bodyguard in a divorce case but soon finds himself the prime suspect in a murder investigation. A "mislaid" suitcase of cocaine adds to the confusion, because the rightful owners believe that Cuddy knows its whereabouts and they are not averse to using violence to recover their property. Instead of the easy work he had expected keeping peace in the matrimonial home, Cuddy discovers that he has become embroiled in murder, fraud and betrayal. Jeremiah Healy has written previous novels featuring John Cuddy including "The Tethered Goat" and "So Like Sleep".
When three members of the Foursome--a pair of wealthy, libertine couples--are found murdered by a peaceful Maine lake, Detective John Cuddy is hired to scour Maine's North Woods and Boston's meanest streets to find the killer. Reprint. NYT. K.
P.I. John Francis Cuddy gains new fans with each of Healy's books. Act of God takes Cuddy to the back streets of Boston and the honky-tonk boardwalks of the Jersey shore--into a murder even more brutal than his clients can imagine. A superb addition to the Cuddy canon.--Mystery News.
