What Goes Around Comes Around by Con Lehane
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND features bartender Brian McNulty. Introduced in the highly praised BEWARE THE SOLITARY DRINKER, this time Brian is quenching thirsts in an upscale Manhattan waterfront restaurant. When a murdered corpse is discovered, ghosts of barrooms past turn up to haunt him. Those long-ago crazy, crazy nights off-Broadway and in Atlantic City take on a sinister hue as Brian finds himself only one step ahead of a killer.
"Top-shelf fiction, a Crown Royal ride into the heart of Night and New YorkCon Lehane's work is reminiscent of the best of Lawrence Block, which is to say that this is very good stuff, indeed."- George Pelecanos, author of "Hard Revolution" "Reading "What Goes Around Comes Around "is like a marathon pub-crawl with a world-class raconteur, only without the skull-cracker of a headache the next morning. Con Lehane is a first class writer with a real command of character and a rare sense of place."- Scott Phillips, author of "The Ice Harvest" "Sparkles with insight. Even better, smells like New York. For a guy who isn't me, Con Lehane can really write."- Kinky Friedman, author of "Prisoner of Van Dam Street" "In this vivid depiction of the wiseguys and poor sods who drift through his flawed hero's bar, Con Lehane also shows us their modest hopes and dreams . . . There are no easy solutions in McNulty's world."- Margaret Maron, author of "Bootlegger's Daughter" "The story starts with the body of a man in a tux floating in the East River. Then Con Lehane takes you on a wild cab ride through the late-late night world only the bartenders know about. You hold on, spinning, careening full circle to an ending I never saw coming. This is a rich, wonderful read."- Ed Dee, author of" The Con Man's Daughter" "[An] arresting cast of colorful characters . . . [Con Lehane] brings alive the dark, offbeat world behind the facade of luxury hotels and bars."- "Publishers Weekly" "Mainstream prose, clever plotting, and a sympathetic hero recommend this sequel . . . . Devotees of Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder hard-boiled series may enjoy."- "Library Journal" "[P]lenty of elbow-bending action and seedy ambience to relish in these pages . . . . Its author's own experience behind the plank lends the McNulty series resonance, and the characters here are satisfyingly sculpted and frequently comic. Brian McNulty bo
