| Plot Summary of The Lords of Greenwich |
|---|
" Depressed and broke, mechanic Bob Dusza is looking to move to a better neighborhood and more secure future. So when his ophthalmologist offers him a way to make thousands of dollars by scamming the Bridgeport jai alai club, he grabs it.
Then Dusza ends up dead and Detective Pierre Appollon is trying to solve the case. But as he gets close, he becomes enmeshed in the corrupt underside of Connecticut politics-where money talks and the wealthy walk."
Joseph Bentivegna, Resident Scholar
