Tommy the Quarterback: A Crime Mystery

By Donald Greco

Book Overview

Is one man tough enough to take on the most formidable forces- and still not lose heart? This gritty and gripping novel of a small-town murder tells the tale of one man's final chance at personal redemption-in a deadly swirl of political corruption, reignited passion, and a renewed purpose in what it takes to be an honest cop in Youngstown, Ohio. Chief of Police Thomas P. McCarrie, known as Tommy the Quarterback, is a brutally honest, hard-drinking divorcee who is bent on running a scrupulously fair department, despite pressure from corrupt power-mongers like newly-elected mayor, Carly Giustino. When the son of a police lieutenant and his girlfriend are murdered, Tommy unearths links to a mafia operative named Mose Pagliaro. It's then up to Tommy to thwart the town's rotten elements. Both tough and tender, this fast-paced, page-turning novel paints an authentic portrait of a rusty American industrial town, and the people who are duty-bound to protect it.
