New Friday Morning Coffee!

OG Writer's Bone guest John Nardizzi joins Daniel Ford on Friday Morning Coffee to chat about his latest Ray Infantino novel The Burden of Innocence.

Caitlin Malcuit is off this week, so Daniel runs down a few topics such as the United States accepting 100,000 Ukrainian refugees (but only 75,000 Afghans not too long ago with more time to plan and execute a smooth withdrawal) and some stupid questions from Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, such as "On a scale of 1 to 10, how faithful would you say you are in terms of religion?"

Prepare for a tale of guilt and redemption in THE BURDEN OF INNOCENCE by Weathertop Media Company, where readers are presented with a mystery set in the gritty, dirty underworld of Boston.

📚 SYNOPSIS 📚
Innocence is pain-when you're locked in a cage.

Private investigators Ray Infantino and Tania Kong take on the case of Sam Langford, framed for a murder committed by a crime boss at the height of his powers. But a decade later, Boston has changed. The old ethnic tribes have weakened.

As the P*s range across the city, witnesses remember the past in dangerous ways. The gangsters know that, in the new Boston, vulnerable witnesses they manipulated years ago are shaky. Old bones will not stay buried forever. When a vicious gangster and a corrupt cop team up to derail the investigation, the stakes are higher than ever.

Can Ray and Tania solve the case in time to free an innocent man?

If you enjoy Robert B. Parker's Spenser, Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone, and James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux, you will want to join the thrilling investigations of Ray Infantino.

Overview
PI Ray Infantino Series, #2
Private investigators Ray Infantino and Tania Kong take on the case of Sam Langford, framed for a murder committed by a crime boss at the height of his powers.
But a decade later, Boston has changed. The old ethnic tribes have weakened. As the P*s range across the city, witnesses remember the past in dangerous ways. The gangsters know that, in the new Boston, vulnerable witnesses they manipulated years ago are shaky. Old bones will not stay buried forever.
As the gang sabotages the investigation, will Ray and Tania solve the case in time to save an innocent man?

My Review:
The Burden of Innocence is the 2nd book in the Ray Infantino’s private investigator series, but can be read as a stand-alone. John Nardizzi uses his private investigator and crime background to create a book that takes Boston to a place where the mafia has taken over. An innocent man is convicted of r**e and murder of a woman named Katie Donnegan. Fifteen years later, Ray Infantino and Tania Kong, reopen the case because they believe this innocent man was framed by questionable witnesses. What they go nd is unbelievable! The stakes are high enough that someone will try to stop his investigation at any cost. This book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and the adrenaline pumping like you drank a whole pot of coffee! It is very hard to put down. The author did a great job bringing you into the underworld of informants, strips clubs, the persons whose palms get “greased” and who the connected big guys are. The author created characters that are realistic and authentic. Using his expertise as a private investigator, he writes with such reality, you are transported to the streets of Boston and can place yourself in the scenarios.

The story flows well and the descriptions of Boston can bring the sights and sounds to life for the reader. With a multilayered storyline, this book holds your interest without confusing the reader. In this book, dirty cops, the mafia and the gangs have danger lurking in every corner. But there is a twisting revelation between Ray and his past that brings even more intrigue to the investigation. Can Ray and Tania solve the case in time to free an innocent man or will all their hard work be for nothing when the mafia calls the shots?
