Synopsis

When a body is discovered in the ashes of Westerly s swank Haversham Golf Club, Algy Temple, the pool playing sleuth, uncovers a complex criminal conspiracy with its roots in casino gambling and ethnic tensions. Meanwhile, Temple, as legal counsel to Ivy League Carter University, clashes with the mendacious mayor of Providence, a fierce practitioner of poisonous politics. With psychologist Nadie Winokur, Algy Temple faces his greatest challenge in a game of straight pool.

About this title

About the Author

In 40 years as an attorney, Partridge has focused primarily on civil law, leaving the criminal side to his fellow barristers. However, his experience has given him a first-hand insight into the workings of colleges and universities, many types of businesses, as well as courtrooms and local politics. Born in Central Falls and raised in Pawtucket, Partridge has homes both in Providence and Westerly, and describes people and places with the keen eye of a native son. Partridge is involved in numerous civic and charitable organizations, including serving as co-chairman of The Pawtucket Foundation, vice-chairman of the President s Council at Providence College, and trustee of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Pawtucket, to name just a few.
