A Bartender Brian McNulty Mystery
Reeks: Bartender Brian McNulty Mysteries
Con Lehane
- Tensions
- are
- high
- and
- the
- dangers
- multiply
- as
- New
- York
- City
- bartender
- and
- man-about-the-mean-streets
- Brian
- McNulty---always
- a
- sucker
- for
- the
- plight
- of
- the
- little
- guy---joins
- forces
- with
- a
- motley
- crew
- of
- workers
- from
- the
- old
- Savoy
- Hotel.McNulty
- has
- once
- more
- run
- afoul
- of
- the
- powers
- that
- be
- in
- the
- New
- York
- City
- hotel
- and
- restaurant
- industry
- and
- finds
- himself
- exiled
- to
- a
- down-at-the
- heels
- hotel
- in,
- for
- him,
- the
- far
- reaches
- of
- civilization---Manhattan,
- west
- of
- Eighth
- Avenue.
- Not
- long
- into
- his
- tenure,
- a
- vicious
- attack
- on
- one
- of
- his
- fellow
- bartenders
- raises
- the
- stakes
- and
- puts
- everyone
- on
- edge,
- and
- it
- doesn't
- take
- much
- for
- the
- hotel
- manager
- to
- provoke
- the
- outraged
- workers
- into
- a
- strike.
- Once
- they
- hit
- the
- bricks,
- all
- hell
- breaks
- loose,
- and
- it
- isn't
- long
- until
- the
- bodies
- start
- to
- fall.The
- cops
- focus
- in
- on
- two
- of
- McNulty's
- pals,
- a
- renegade
- Irishman
- and
- a
- pretty,
- young
- waitress
- from
- Brooklyn,
- both
- with
- closets
- full
- of
- secrets
- and
- buckets
- full
- of
- problems
- of
- their
- own.
- McNulty
- thinks
- the
- cops,
- as
- usual,
- are
- barking
- up
- the
- wrong
- tree,
- but
- that's
- the
- least
- of
- his
- problems.
- The
- hits
- in
- this
- particular
- instance
- have
- angered
- the
- gods
- of
- gangsterland,
- and
- someone
- has
- determined
- that
- McNulty
- is
- a problem.
