Eddie Bourque is a political reporter for the Lowell Empire following a story that he hopes will bring him back to the big time. But his editor and the city politicians don't want to publish negative stories. In an effort to rebuild the dying city they are encouraging investors to tear down the local immigrant neighborhood and build expensive condos. When a story of the shooting of a drug addict in a local park is rewritten by an editor, he gets a bit testy.

Then a body is dredged from the river. It's his beat partner, Denny Nowlin and his publisher strangely refuses to follow up on the story. When Eddie is beaten and nearly killed, it gets personal. Despite the fact that the Lowell Empire won't publish any of it, he keeps digging. Eddie's refusal to accept the cover up of Danny's murder leads him deep into the Cambodian community in Lowell, particularly to a young woman bent on avenging her father's death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, and to a Cambodian philanthropist who is not all that he seems.

I enjoyed the book and found the mystery more complex than I originally anticipated. It was filled with plenty of action, humor and mystery. The character development was strong and Eddie was a very interesting character. This is my second book by Mark Arsenault and I do plan to try another sometime.

A basic (very basic) game system, mostly a character-generation and combat/magic system, with the intention of having players buy other supplements for the game world and setting information. Not terribly playable or useful by itself...

Up until the last few pages, I really didn't think much of this novel--though I did keep reading. And at the end, I didn't even want to see the protagonist arrested anymore!

The Father is awesome.

Once p ast the dopey title, this is a very good, well-written mystery written by a former Rhode Island beat reporter. Second in the Billy Povich series. Billy is a compulsive gambler and former reporter who's been busted down to obit writer, asked by a lawyer friend to investigate the murder of a revered judge. The cops have already closed the case, thinking its a robbery gone bad--the perp having died in the crash of the getaway car. But Billy finds suspects everywhere, from the local mafioso to the judge's wife and beyond. Arsenault pulls off a neat identity twist all the way back in chapter one when the wreck takes place. Well done.… (altro)
