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.

Synopsis
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.

Author
Bio
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.
