Synopsis

Provincetown, spiraling from the tip of Cape Cod, has long been a place of freedom, escape, diversity, and risk. Mark Winslow, a Boston comic, arrives with his troupe of actors, ready to break into the Provincetown club circuit. But the town and the region are far from peaceful this summer. When a public fight makes Mark the prime suspect in the grisly death of a Boston blueblood, Mark believes his choice is simple. He must find the killer or be charged with the crime. Amid the clam shacks and craft shops, art galleries and nude beaches, undercurrents are pulling at the surface of normality. Could the disappearance of a famous painter eighty years in the pastand the story of his masterpiece, The Fisher Boysomehow lie at the center of the whirlpool of evil threatening to extinguish Marks life?

The memorable elements of this book aren't the characters, but the intricately contrived plot and the author's colourful use of language. For example: "...window boxes hemorrhaging red geraniums," and "...tomatoes, taut as blood blisters, bigger than skulls." It's a bit over the top at times, just l......more

Goodreads review by Cheryl on June 08, 2015

Well this was a painful book to listen to. I almost gave it only one star because the audio was excruciating. Let me get that rant out of the way first.
