Final Copy

Jan Brogan. Larcom Press, $25 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-9678199-4-5

Struggling journalist Addy McNeil jumps at the chance to cover the murder of a renowned businessman, despite or maybe because the main suspect is Addy's ex-boyfriend. Set in the early-1990s biotech proliferation in Boston, Jan Brogan's Final Copy, his first mystery novel, lands its heroine in the thick of rekindled romance, cutthroat venture capitalism and abundant murder motives.
