About This Book
Lieutenant Anthony DiNapoli of Boston's 23rd Precinct invariably juggled his gourmet Italian recipes while solving some of Boston's major crimes. Today, in the comfort of home he was just explaining the fine disciplines of garlic and their uses to his good friend, Rev. Paul Gaspari of the local parish, when called upon to look into a Baxter College murder of one of their students,: Helen Brandt. She had been strangled. It was a heinous crime; and DiNapoli was most anxious to find the murderer despite the sometimes interference of the Baxter president, Sampson Drexel and his associate, Gertrude Royster. Typically, DiNapoli peels away some of the pertinent clues as a professional policeman, and before he knows it, he unearths a rather unsavory super crime, a prostitution ring utilizing young students from three colleges (including Baxter) as hookers. So, not only were these three prestigious schools teaching sex, they were actually practicing it; as was a leading Congressional Senator enamored with one of the students. Another murder is committed and is quickly resolved just as a third one is committed right smack in LoganAirport with DiNapoli and his stalwarts looking on. A fine dinner takes place later in the week at the DiNapoli domicile, following a fine new article summing up DiNapoli's success by the Gazette's investigative ace reporter, Clare Dutton.
