Book Description
Detective John Francis Cuddy is hired to find the missing son of a noted Massachusetts judge. The boy had vanished. The lush Boston suburb didn't offer a clue, but 14-year-old Stephen Kinnington's old-money family did.

My Review
This was a fun read of a debut novel which was written in the 80's and set in Boston with PI John Francis Cuddy who is a widowed Vietnam vet. The book has a first person perspective which Jeremiah Healy pulls off excellently with a nice sense of humor. It is a page-turner and held my interest until the very surprising ending. The book is fast-paced with a good plot and interesting believable characters. I look forward to reading the 2nd book in the series and I highly recommend this series to those who like mystery/suspense books with a nice but flawed hero.
