Thriller
The death of Paco "Packy" Johnson shouldn't have surprised
anyone. Paco Johnson spent a lifetime in the system -- starting in
juvie at age 10, then prison for most of his adult life. But
he managed to make some real friends in prison, friends who
helped him get parole, a place to stay, and plans to help
him adjust to a life outside prison after seventeen years
behind bars. But only seventeen hours after he was released,
he was found dead -- murdered -- in the streets of the Bronx. James Beck can't save Packy any longer -- but he can try to
find out what happened to Packy, and why, and exact a
measure of justice. Beck, ringleader of a tight clique of
ex-cons based in Brooklyn's Red Hook section, is determined
to accord Packy at least some dignity and a measure of
justice. But what drove Packy out onto the streets of the
Bronx his first night back? Who did he run into that hated
him enough to viciously beat him before executing him, and
yet left behind his wallet full of cash? But what at first appears to be a simple, if tragic, street
killing, quickly becomes something much more difficult and
complex. And it will take all the skills, connections, and
cunning of Beck and his team not only to learn the truth but
to survive the forces they've unwittingly unleashed.
