UNEXPECTED REVELATIONS
Oh my gosh! I never expected this!
In the first two novels featuring Terry Orr, darkly obsessed about finding the musical genius who killed his wife and baby son in a New York subway station, Jim Fusilli created stunning tales of personal anguish, as well as blistering atmosphere within the neighborhoods of New York. This third book, Tribeca Blues, is even more shattering, more dark, and troubling. It is also magnificent, for it shows that what Fusilli has done with his work is to invert the hard-boiled crime novel. The classic style inherent in all such books from its beginnings, is to have the ire of the protagonist flow outward towards the interlopers, the suspects, the criminals. Not so with Terry Orr. As with Closing Time and A Well-Known Secret, Tribeca Blues reveals that the boiling point within the main character implodes directly upon himself.
Having become a private investigator for the sole purpose of learning the ropes of the trade in order to find the Madman,Raymond Weisz, the mentally deranged perpetrator of the double murder, Orr is first confronted with the death of his friend Leo, found on the floor of the Tilt-A-Whirl, the bar the corpulent man owned. There is a letter for Diddio, the pothead rock critic, indicating that he should inherit the bar, and also a letter for Orr, in which Leo urges him to bring his ex-wife, Loretta, to justice, for she had been responsible for Leo's money troubles. Traveling to New Orleans for the funeral, Orr learns that Weisz's mother has died, and before Leo is buried, he immediately flies back to New York, believing the deranged pianist will appear at that funeral.
It has been five years since Orr lost two-thirds of his family, and while he loves his teenaged daughter Bella, the relationship, because of his inner turmoil, is more distant. Seeing at the funeral of the Madman's mother the one witness to the crime he never interviewed, a cultured Frenchman who sells poster art, he seeks him out. The man's revelations about what he saw are completely at odds with what all others had told Orr about that fatal day. He seeks confirmation from others, and learns that they too, knew the truth about at least some of what happened in the subway station, and about his wife's clandestine act. This includes a dedicated policeman who kept quiet out of compassion for Orr. And, thinking hard about his life with the artist who left him millions of dollars in death, Orr realizes that he was aware, at least instinctively of his wife's behavior all along.
As it happens, the Frenchman's live-in-love is Leo's former wife, which leads to a murder, caused by a bullet intended for Orr, and a discovery of fraud. There are other complications with Leo's wealthy sister Ruth, not as rich as she once was, but substantial enough to live well in Louisiana on oil and real estate holdings, yearning to control Leo even in death.
