The historically accurate WWII background and appealing characters of James R. Benn’s new mystery Billy Boyle might be just the book you’ve been looking for.
Lt. William Boyle, a Boston copper fresh out of officer candidate school, is assigned to the staff of his distant relative "Uncle Ike" at army headquarters in London and then sent on a special mission to Norway.
A diplomat has died after a fall from the high window of his room. A locked door and a regretful note lead everyone to assume it’s a suicide.
Everyone, that is, except Billy.
Billy Boyle makes an appearance in Benn’s first book Desperate Ground (2004) and his next starring role will be in A Brother of Need which is expected in 2007.
Jim Benn is a well known library figure in Connecticut having played a large role in the development of the “reQuest” statewide database.
