Review Snippet

 

"Here's a recipe for a page turner."

NY Times bestselling author William Martin.

Synopsis

In a unique mystery set amid the drugs-and- music scene of the sixties. When a friend is charged with murder, Viet Nam vet Mick McCarthy and brainy Irish partner Bridget hop on their motorcycle and swing into action. Tough-but-sensitive Mick and hard-as-nails Bridget quip, banter and make love as they match wits with the mob and a shadowy psychopathic killer. Groovy collides with square in affluent Newport, Rhode Island, home of the famous folk festival. Shadow of Innocence has it all: adventure, sleuthing, humor, DSM (drugs, sex, music), and a perverse, shadowy secret that threatens to tear apart the posh Newport town. Don't miss the McCarthy family in action.

Reviews

"Here's a recipe for a page-turner: Take a moment of  high American drama - the tumultuous year of 1968. Add some cool New England locations - Harvard Square and the Newport Jazz festival. Throw in a wisecracking Boston detective. No, wait... make that a whole family of Boston detectives. Let Ric Wasley cook it all up for you. Then sit down and enjoy. You'll be glad you did."
 
William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Back Bay, Harvard Yard, and The Lost Constitution.
