Autorenporträt
An astute observer of academia politics and politicians, and pool, J.J. Partridge's novels illuminate academic sensibilities and campus foibles, political turf wars and ethnic tensions, civic sleaziness, gaming's relationship with Native Americans, and particularly the murky world of the sport of pool, both amateur and professional. "Carom Shot" and "Straight Pool" are the prior titles in the Algy Temple mysteries; "Scratched" continues the series. J.J. Partridge's distinguished career practicing law provides experience with Providence's high times and low lifes.
