About this listen

The most unlikely person in the world asks Private Investigator Nick Nowak to investigate the un-suspicious death of a priest. It's winter 1984, Private Investigator Nick Nowak has allowed his life to fall to pieces: he's stopped taking cases, lost his apartment and works as a bartender at a sleazy bar tucked under the El. All he wants to do is lick his wounds after the death of his lover, Detective Bert Harker. But, when the least likely person in the world shows up and asks him to take a new case he finds himself investigating the very un-suspicious heart attack death of a priest. Nick is convinced he's wasting his time until the clues begin to add up to.

Boystown 5 shattered my heart but at the same time gave me the vengeance I needed. Boystown 6 was the first step towards healing and moving on. It’s been a year since Bert Harker died, and Nick’s not doing well—he’s shut himself out from the rest of the world and just does enough to simply exist and survive. When Bert’s mother, Mrs. Harker, contacts Nick for help, it’s the turning point Nick needs to start living again. Like the previous five books in this series there is action, mystery, and a lot of steamy, sex. There is also a lot of emotional moments that are full of tenderness and bittersweet pain. My heart at times both ached and rejoiced. This series has seriously become one of my favorites – I love everything from the historical setting of 1980s Chicago to the gruff and rough edges of Nick Nowack and the intriguing mysteries he ends up solving.

Set in 1984 this thriller stars Nick Nowak. Bartender and one time detective. Investigating the suspected heart attack of a local Chicago priest. Well written and narrated this book moves fast to raise all the required questions and answer them. It’s not a light hearted book but the plot is complex and satisfying.

Satisfying thriller.

PI Nick Nowak has been in a steady decline since he killed the Bughouse Slasher and has been refusing all cases. Nick has never gotten on well with his dead partner’s mother, Mrs Harker, but when she requests he find out how her favourite priest died, he can’t refuse. This is Nick’s rehabilitation story and while it’s melancholy, it’s also excellent as it explores Catholicism and Nick’s rebirth. Nick is a paradoxical figure, he’s often rude, pushy, or demanding, but he’s also cares about his cases and tries to do the right thing by people. I loved the scenes between him and Mrs Harker as they both settle into an amicable ceasefire. I’m sad the rest of this brilliant series aren’t available as audiobooks - I’ve absolutely loved Brad Langer’s performances.

Another excellent Nick Nowak case!
