Liar's Dice by Gabriel Valjan is the fourth book in the Shane Cleary series. It takes place in Boston in the 70s where the Boston/New York mafia and the mob in Canada vie for dominance in the drug trade that is flourishing in Boston.
The book relives his time in Vietnam and Shane, who is a former police officer but now is a P.I., has a strict code of honor that he follows when it comes to investigating crime. A crime that the police don't want to deal with.
Shane receives a visit from Tony Two Times requesting that Shane find Sal who is the nephew of the local crime boss. Shane is also trying to figure out how and why a former vet is found dead in Boston Commons. But as he investigates, he finds that Federal agents and the police have their own agendas.
Shane and his girl Bonnie find themselves mixed up in the crime families, hopefully, able to solve the crimes he is taxed with solving. The reader learns more about Shane's relationship between Bonnie and the cat, Delilah.
I have read quite a few books by Mr. Valjan in different series and I always enjoy them. His knowledge of the '70s, Vietnam, and the crime families in Boston, Canada, and New York is impeccable. If you are looking for a gritty type of noir then you can't go wrong reading one of Mr. Valjan's books. I look forward to the continuing story of Shane Cleary!
I give it 5 stars!… (plus d'informations)
