Publisher's Summary:
Cuddy attempts to exonerate a boy who confessed to murder under hypnosis. William Daniels nearly didnt make it to college. A black student raised in one of Bostons roughest suburbs, he once barely skirted time in juvenile hall for gang activities. Pressure from his mother convinced William to straighten out, and he went on to study at a prestigious university.
Years after his first brush with the law, William is in trouble again, and it will take more than a mothers love to keep him free. While hypnotized by his psychiatrist, William admits to shooting his girlfriend, producing the murder weapon and telling the doctor where to find the body. When he comes out of his state, William is in handcuffs and thinks he killed the girl.
But private eye John Francis Cuddy doesnt trust the psychiatrist, and risks everything to save this bright young man whose mind has been turned against him.
Healy...will garner more praise for his strange and wonderful new story...Cuddy earns the status of new favorite series hero. (Publishers Weekly)
"In a world where values are constantly shifting and slipping, John Cuddy hangs on to his code of honor with the ferocity of those old knights of yore . . . a terrific series." (The New York Times Book Review")
Members Reviews:
This series continues to improve.
This book, the third, is a step up from The Staked Goat, the previous one.
Cuddy is asked by a friend to help clear a young man of murdering his girlfriend.
One thing I especially like about Healy's protagonist is that Cuddy comes across as tough without having constantly proving it through fights and shootouts.
My one regret is that I wasn't aware of this series thirty years ago when it first hit the market. But a good book is a good read, whether it's a week after it hits the shelves or thirty years later.
I just wish Healy would write more of them.
Good reading
Satisfying pick up and put down reading. I love that it takes place in a time of no cell phones. I love the lead character. He isn't a macho super hero. He's smart, but makes normal human mistakes. I also like that the author shows the heart break of the character.

A good read. His books are a must for Bostonians
