Synopsis

Boston Baked Churchill

It is the turn of the century in Boston, where Probation Officer "Cootch" Connolly investigates the murder of a client. Cootch learns that the victim was a member of a secret society known as the Fenians, a diehard Gaelic group seeking freedom for Ireland.
Delving deeper into the terrorists' underworld, Cootch uncovers a looming attack on his beloved Beantown, beginning with the planned assassination of a visiting British dignitary, Winston Churchill.
With the help of his Boston cop brother, Cootch embarks on a fateful mission destined for bombs, bullets, and blood.

Boston Creme Curley

In this thrilling sequel to "Boston Baked Churchill," the year is 1903 and Boston sleuth Cootch Connolly finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation when a judge and probationer are found dead. After receiving death threats from an anti-Irish group, Cootch races to the aid of young, embattled politician, James Michael Curley, a flamboyant, risk-taker who will one day become Boston's most famous mayor. Along with his Boston cop brother, Finn, Cootch and Curley set out to trap the killer, sending the unlikely duo on a chase that leads them from the last game of the first world series, to the cobblestone, back-alleys of turn-of-the-century Beantown.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

After Mike Ryan read I'd Do It Again, the autobiography of James Michael Curley in high school, he wasn't sure if Curley was the greatest politician who ever lived or the greatest con artist of all time. But he was hooked.

Since then he has written more than a dozen articles in newspapers and magazines about the controversial Boston "Mayor of the Poor." Ryan has been footnoted in several books and has lectured for many years about the Purple Shamrock.

Ryan graduated from Boston State College with a degree in history and minors in secondary education and in English. He later earned a master's degree in journalism from Boston University.

He has worked as a caddy, supermarket bundle boy, trash collector, taxi driver, cemetery worker, pants salesman, maintenance man, political campaign worker, tutor, teacher, reporter, and government communicator. A Red Sox fan ever since his father took him to Fenway Park in 1960, Ryan lives with his family west of the Pesky Pole.
