From the award-winning author of "Final Copy" comes a new, fast-paced mysterythat will be impossible to put down.
In A Confidential Source, Jan Brogan casts a stern eye at Rhode Island's gambling industry and declares it ripe with criminal corruption. Brogan's appealing sleuth, Hallie Ahern, is a discredited Boston journalist reduced to covering Dumpster fires from the back-of-beyond bureau of a Providence daily … Brogan's brooding analysis of the gambling itch that leaves so many decent people rubbed raw is especially persuasive with a narrator like Hallie, who recognizes her own addictive impulses while researching the pros and cons of the gambling industry at Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun and the corner grocery store.
