Produktbeschreibung
A soldier reported killed-in-action in 1918 is a drowning victim in a boathouse in 1923 Boston. A young lady missing for five weeks is a drowning victim and surfaces in the same boathouse. As children, they were neighbors. The cases are assigned to Detective O'Meara and Sergeant Parker, who realize their limitations when dealing with Boston's upper crust. O'Meara is of Irish descent, and Parker, although a proper born and raised Bostonian, is a policeman. Ione, Archie, and Tango, a greyhound whose nose finds clues, are called upon to help cut through the elitist barrier. Archer was born and raised on Louisburg Square, Beacon Hill. Because he is a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, commonly referred to as a WASP, he can open doors denied the police. There are myriad clues and dead ends, but nothing leads toward a solution until Tango, the greyhound, sniffs the clue of an illegal drug wrapping, and the sleuths find their starting point. After a restless day of searching, Archer remembers a significant fact. The answer to solving murder lies not in 1924 Boston but in a 6,000-year-old rite of passage.

Autorenporträt
Mr. Patrick was born in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and is, therefore, a true Yooper. After attending Albion College, Albion, Michigan, he decided the best way to see the world was as a guest of Uncle Sam and joined the Navy. He served as an officer aboard ship during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and Vietnam 1968-69. Realizing that mines blowing up beside the ship and bullets flying about was unhealthy, he bowed out of service to join the corporate world working in sales and teaching business applications on computers. He founded a travel agency and continued to travel the world until retirement. He resides in Kenner, LA, and is restoring a modified two-story Georgian Colonial while pursuing his love of reading and writing.
