DARK HARBOR

A narrator is stuck with the book in front of him, and a pro like George Guidall knows he still has to sell it. And so he dutifully does as he delivers this preposterous thriller in which the work of a Boston serial killer becomes mixed up in a high-profile lawsuit arising from terrorist act. When one of the lawyers working on the case becomes the killer's latest victim, her former lover and colleague, Scott Finn, a survivor of the rough streets of South Boston, is the chief suspect. Guidall gamely forges the absurd plot and finds his fun where he can, particularly wherever Finn's old Irish gangster friend makes his lively appearances.
