Richard Christie Mystery

review 1: Pretty good book. I gave it a4/5 stars for a great plot being described very well be George. I tend to like mysteries, but this book is a new level. This is the main overview of the book. The Homicide Department is upside down, Richard Christie is in the hospital injured from a previous case, Artie Dolan is headed away on vacation(probably because he needs some rest, or just hates his coworkers), John Potocki’s life is falling apart(Due to his love life struggles), and Colleen Greer is so worried about her boss’s(Richard Christie) health, she can hardly think. A young boy in Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood dies of a suspicious overdose of drugs, and so the Narcotics police are ready for a new case.. The Narcotics police are working on tips and they draft Colleen... more and Potocki to help them. In this same neighborhood, four young kids have been abandoned and are living on their own, because their parents were very irresponsible and selfish. The Philips kids, brainy in school, are reluctant to compromise themselves. But they need cash to survive in the old beat up neighborhood of North Side. Connecting these people and their stories is Nick Banks, just out of prison and working off a debt to an old acquaintance involved in the drug trade. Nick is a charmer, a gentle fellow who’s had a lot of trouble in his life. One day, he gives free food to the Philips kids, little guessing how connected their lives are about to become, just because of one meal. I feel that Kathleen George’s latest work pushes the edge. This book is a spectacularly original crime novel.
