Fiction
Albert LaRosa has spent his whole life just trying to get
from yesterday to tomorrow. Born, raised, and now the
sheriff of a small New Jersey island town, he was forced
back to his hometown of Harbor Light after his shot at the
big time as a cop in Philadelphia was destroyed by the
events of one dark night.
Twenty-five years and one
marriage later, it looks as if life might finally give him a
break. Albert is offered a job as chief of security at a new
casino at a salary he has only dreamed of. Not that his
dreams were ever very grand.
Of course, not everyone
in town is equally happy. Albert can live with the death
threats. And the bombings. Even a dead body provides some
professional excitement. He can take his father's tirades
about selling out and he can cope with his girlfriend,
Rickie, losing her business--at least he's always been a
good friend to her son, Jack. What bothers him is that he
might have to arrest one of them for murder.
Lopez
throws his irresistible characters into the whirlwind that
threatens to destroy the increasingly fragile world of
Harbor Light, and makes us care both for them and for what
they tell us about getting from one day to the next. As
Albert realizes, you can get to your future only by way of
your past.
