eBooks - Mystery - Mystery - Bill Kent - Street Money
|
Along the broad boulevards and dark back alleys of Philadelphia, Benjamin "Benny Lunch" Cosicki, City Hall fixer, doesn't just give out street money as a bribe: he expects people to do something for him in return. So, when he gets his daughter Andrea a job at the Press, a crass, scrappy tabloid newspaper, he tells her to keep his name out of it. This promise turns difficult when cops find his body in the basement of a burned out nightclub. Did Benny just slip and fall, as the cops say, or did he "get himself dead" because he owed the wrong things to the wrong people? Only N.S. "Shep" Ladderback, the newspaper's gruff, aging obituary writer has a clue. While the rest of the newspaper's reporters chase front-page scandals and Pulitzers, Andy and Shep match words and wits with conniving crooks, chiseling Main Line matrons, and sleazy scriveners to find the true story. |
