The Breastplate of Faith and Love

  This exciting new novel introduces Rhode Island-based private eye Stafford Boyle. But it picks up on events from Paul McGoran’s earlier book, Made for Murder. For Stafford Boyle–, this case began when the wife of a TV reality show winner asked him to find out if her husband was cheating. Billy Moncton had won a million bucks on the Castaways program and his wife Theresa wasn’t about to let that kind of money just walk away. This was the kind of job a small-time gumshoe thrived on, tailing a wayward husband and picking up a fast fee. But the assignment didn’t go as expected. He followed Billy to the mansion of Claudia Chitworth, one of Newport’s few remaining dowager queens – Dismas Cottage, scene of several long-ago murders. Next thing Boyle knows, he’s dealing with a missing fiancée, a mysterious child, a suspicious scion, and more dead bodies.
