Product Description
The cozy New England town of Newbury, Connecticut, is not immune to the relentless spread of McMansions carpeting the countryside. Ben Abbott, realtor and private detective, is so incensed that he refuses to sell them. But Ben is not the only citizen of Newbury who is provoked by over-sized, ugly, wasteful houses. The corpse of Billy Tiller, Newbury’s greediest developer, was just discovered underneath his bulldozer.
Young, troubled eco-activist Jeff Kimball, who is arrested while sitting at the controls of the bulldozer, protests his innocence. Connecticut’s state attorney sees the opportunity to prosecute an open-and-shut TV murder trial that will vault him into the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, Ira Levy, the small-town criminal defense lawyer hired by Jeff’s hip-hop mogul father, longs to impress movers and shakers in New York City.
Deep in debt to Attorney Levy for an expensive horse, Ben must try to prove Jeff Kimball innocent of a crime that State Police Major Crime Squad Lieutenant Marian Boyce styles “perpetrator on bulldozer on victim.”
It looks that way, says Ben Abbott. But is it?
