Redlined: A Novel of Boston (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This Boston neighborhood has become a jungle. The banks have REDLINED Jamaica Plain, crashing the housing market, opening the neighborhood to blockbusters and slumlords. Flynt was hired to halt it. His quest to stop the banks and find justice for Sandy Morgan will lead him through a dangerous labyrinth of corrupt politicians, bent churchmen and a gang of vicious Chinese mafiosi who will stop at nothing to thwart him.

Two interwoven plots work their way through this heart-stopping narrative. One is absolutely true. It tells the story of how a local community, skating along the razor's edge of decline, organized itself and saved the neighborhood. The other never really happened but, in the corrupt netherworld of Boston politics, very well might have.
