    Boston's vanishing history

    A collection of eleven short stories set in Boston's neighborhoods display a good grasp not only of noir style storytelling, but also of Boston's fast vanishing uniqueness. The local toughs aka knuckleheads; our colloquialisms 'wicked pissah' and the neighborhood family feel all almost lost to progress thru gentrification.

    Edited by native resident Dennis Lehane, who also contributes a story, the stories seem reminiscent of an earlier time, capturing local Boston in all her glory. My favorites include Lehane's 'Animal Rescue'; Patricia Powell's 'Dark Waters'; Dana Cameron's 'Femme Sole'; Brendan Dubois' ' The Dark Island'; John Dufresne's Cross Eyed Bear' and Russ Aborn's 'Turn Speed'. Which will yours be? Read and be pleasurably entertained!

    Perfect for curling up on a rainy day with a nice cup of tea

    Especially love the first story. Very different from Lynne Heitman's four novels about the airline industry's shenanigans. It's raining outside and getting colder. Hope I can make this book last.
