Boston Creme Curley — Mike Ryan

In this thrilling sequel to Boston Baked Churchill, the year is 1903 and Boston Sleuth Cootch Connolly finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation when a judge and probationer are found dead. After receiving death threats from an anti-Irish group, Cootch races to the aid of young, embattled politician, James Michael Curley, a flamboyant, risk-taker who will one day become Boston's most famous mayor.
Along with his Boston cop brother, Finn, Cootch and Curley set out to trap the killer, sending the unlikely duo on a chase that leads them from the last game of the first world series, to the cobblestone, back-alleys of turn-of-the-century Beantown.
