This is the WBEZ Book Club. I'm Jordan Rich. If you're a fan
of Robert Parker's Spencer or Lahyanes Kenzie and Jennaro series of detective novels. Make
room for a new character, Eddie Harkness. I just read Eddie's first adventure,
a book called Third Rail by Rory Flynn. Eddie is a Harvard educated
second generation police officer demoted from his job at the Boston Police Department for a
tragic incident outside Fenway Park. The action kicks off on page one and never
lets up, as our hero loses something very important his gun, and spends
most of the novel tracking it down, all the while unlocking the secrets of
a new world class designer drug called third Rail. This premier novel by Rory
Flynn has it all. A tough, thoughtful hero, fast on his feet
and adept with his fists. There's a femme fatale artist in Bartender, Thalia
Havoc. Her last name is Apropoe, and you'll get to meet some of
the most interesting and dangerous bad guys in fiction. Third Rail by Rory Flynn.
