Suspicion is cast on the gangster kingpin from <em>Sweetie Bogan's Sorrow</em>, Frank Vinson, but Mickey Barksdale, Boston's equivalent in the criminal world, might bear some responsibility, too. Mickey is running a money laundry through the local culinary institute, but his lieutenant there is up to his own crooked tricks. On the personal side, Burton mourns the loss of his relationship with Marina Antonelli, while Elder Darrow and Susan Voisine come together again, then part, maybe for good this time.</p><p><br></p><p>Financial fraud, drug distribution schemes, and a couple of grisly murders set the stage for another Boston adventure with Dan Burton and Elder Darrow. The Esposito is back, jazz and all.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Praise for Richard J. Cass: </strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Cass' prose is wonderfully textured, evoking both the Boston weather and the fatalistic attitudes of the city's denizens... at the center of the crimes and detective work is a highly relatable story of a man who can't decide whether to cling to the past or surrender to the future. An immersive and satisfying addition to the category of Boston crime fiction." </p><p>-<em>Kirkus Reviews</em> on <em>Last Call at the Esposito</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Atmospheric and dark, <em>In Solo Time</em> rivets with live jazz, memorable characters, and murders that point to Big Politics played by Boston's cutthroat wealthy."</p><p>-Gayle Lynds, <em>New York Times</em><strong> </strong>bestselling author of <em>The Assassins </em>and <em>Book of Spies</em></p><p><br></p><p>"<em>In Solo Time</em> is a heavy pour of single malt, and twice as dangerous. If Elder Darrow's slinging drinks, count me a regular."</p><p>-Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of <em>The Killing Kind</em></p><br>
