Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Boston attorney Brady Coyne, a principled man in an often unprincipled profession, remains as fresh and appealing as ever in his 23rd outing (after 2006's Out Cold). Brady is enjoying an evening at home in his Beacon Hill townhouse watching the Red Sox on TV when Robert Lancaster, the son of a former client, phones and insists Brady see his father, Dalton, that same night. Dalton's about to leave the hospital after being treated for a savage beating from some thugs. When the lawyer and old client meet, Brady believes Dalton's claim he's conquered his gambling addiction, and hence couldn't have been assaulted by men he owed money to. Brady soon learns Robert's the one in debt to the mob, but his efforts to mediate are derailed when Robert's kidnapped. Though the kidnapper's identity and the final plot twist won't surprise genre-savvy readers, fans will cheer Tapply's engaging hero every step of the way. (Sept.)

From Booklist

When Boston restaurateur Dalton Lancaster is mugged but not robbed, he instructs his son, Robert, to call Brady Coyne, his lawyer and friend, rather than the police. The elder Lancaster, the son of a prominent Boston family—his mother is a respected judge—derailed his future with a gambling addiction. What should have been a life among Boston's legal elite instead became a struggle to avoid wagering while owning a series of marginally successful restaurants. Coyne assumes the beating was a message to accelerate payment on a gambling debt, but Lancaster swears he hasn't gambled in years. Coyne's digging reveals that the younger Lancaster has his own gambling addiction and is deeply in debt to the Boston Mob. Things get worse when Robert is kidnapped and held for ransom, and the family refuses to involve law enforcement for fear of negative publicity. The latest in the revered Coyne series contains all the ingredients readers have come to expect: excellent plotting; conversational, friendly narration; and a compelling secondary story line focused on Coyne's private life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coyne Waits for a Call, Mar 29 2008
This review is from: One-Way Ticket: A Brady Coyne Novel (Hardcover)
One-Way Ticket is one of the best Brady Coyne novels in some time. If you want to enjoy a fresh story that will remind you of many classic mysteries and dive into new complications in Brady's life, One-Way Ticket is your pass to lots of fun reading.

Brady is enjoying his private life more and more. But the outside world keeps intruding. First, an old client, Dalton Lancaster, is beaten up. Looking into the matter, Brady finds more serious problems beneath the surface that involve one of Boston's least pleasant mobsters. Second, Something is eating on Evie, but she doesn't seem to want to tell Brady what it is.

Before long, Brady's life is torn upside down and he's in the middle of some ugly situations that cannot be ducked or improved on. Brady finds himself playing a role more like a rough-and-tumble private detective than a lawyer and gentlemanly fisherman.

In the process, Brady finds himself wanting to get more phone calls than he gets. In the meantime, he's on the hot seat in more than one way.

The charm of this book for me was that Mr. Tapply has put much more character development into Brady and Evie than he usually does. That makes the novel more compelling and interesting. In addition, the solutions to the crimes that entangle Brady aren't quite as transparent as Mr. Tapply usually makes them. Further, the plot borrows elements from many classic detective stories from Raymond Chandler to Bill Pronzini through Robert Parker. It's homage to some of the most delightful themes that detective fiction provides: Who can you trust? What are my obligations to others? What's life all about?

My only complaint is that the crime's origins aren't quite mysterious enough. Otherwise, this would have been a five-star novel.
