Now in mass market . . . from the author who "writes like a man ready for a rumble," the novel that packs great writing, complex characters, a shocker of an ending, and a dose of pure attitude. Jack Kelly packs a punch in his latest novel set in the deceptively quiet neighborhoods of 1950s Rochester, New York. Ike Van Savage's latest case starts out simple enough: a threatening husband and a beleaguered wife. But before he knows it, he's pulled into a serpentine mystery that involves the town's most notorious gangster, a dead heiress, and one too many "accidents." Mobtown seethes with undercurrents of passion, drips with moody detail, and brims with proof that Jack Kelly deserves an honored place among writers of suspense and detective fiction. Jack Kelly is the author of five critically acclaimed novels: Mobtown, Appalachian, Protection, Mad Dog, and Line of Sight. In addition to fiction, he has written screenplays, children's books and articles for national publications including the Wall Street Journal and American Heritage Magazine. He lives in Milan, New York.
