Synopsis

The crime fiction novelist presents Running in Lane One, set largely on Boston's North Shore.Jerry Leary is aging, disgraced, an ex-cop and an ex-con caught up in memories of a wife who deserted him and his daughter. When his son-in-law asks for his assistance, in a family matter, Jerry finds himself involved in an armored car heist. And when the robbery goes all wrong and double-cross follows double-cross, he is on the run from a vicious ganglord and three killer brothers.Gritty and mesmerizing, Running in Lane One excites us with the chase, while also providing a backstory of the 1950s and 1960s, of an era long gone by. Can Leary outthink his enemies? Can he reconnect with his long lost love?The novel is ripe with inventive incidents, is evocative of the new century, as well as the physical atmosphere of a North Shore no longer existent. As usual in a Curry novel, the presence of the sea and the city is keenly felt and connected to the psychological action of the novel.
