About the Book

For nine days in October of 1990, two Boston homicide detectives, Ketchum and Cobb, investigate the brutal murder of a South Boston man in his living room. For each, the case knifes through the middle of their lives. With Cobb, it's heavy weather and high seas because he's grieving over his son's suicide from four years ago. With Ketchum, it's a chance at some sunshine - he thinks he's found the love of his life, but his heart hesitates. Will she really be attracted to a guy like me, he wonders? As they encounter characters in a South Boston bar who have tenuous connections to the dark side of Boston, they lighten the demands of the job through banter and philosophically posit important questions such as why, with three million people, you can't get a decent pizza in Chicago? Or more importantly, why are there no cheerleaders in baseball?
About the Author: grew up on the South Shore of Boston and lived in and around the city for 45 years. I now live in North Carolina, but get back to Boston often. This novel is my first effort, but I've been keeping a blog, Grumpy Gets Better (jimamullen.blogspot.com), since a medical operation I had in 2009. The blog involves observations of both a literary and non-literary nature. I have a wife, Donna, who has put up with me for 32 years and a dog, who has put up with me for 3. The dog's photo should be on this page - he's the one without the shirt. My son, Adam, is in the US Coast Guard and we are very proud of him. His first posting was in Hull, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, and that station was founded by Joshua James, the father of the Coast Guard. My January 2012 post about James is my favorite one. I read somewhere the Coast guard saves, on average, 12 people a day.
