High Beam
Something is very rotten in the state of Tasmania. Brad Finch, the marquee player of the Tassie Devils Football Club, is the victim at the heart of a new murder mystery. Intense media scrutiny, interfering superior officers, and corrupt business interests all threaten to derail the homicide investigation conducted by the Serious Crimes Squad. Forensic analysis, dogged detective work, and inspiration may prove insufficient in the search for the true perpetrators. The team must face unpalatable truths about the nature of professional sport and the exercise of power in modern Australian society. Detective Inspector John Mahoney, the hero of this international crime series of police procedurals, is an outsider in his hometown of Hobart. Disillusioned by his private life and shocked by the corruption he unearths, he queries his capacity to continue in the job. He must decide if he has the courage to “speak truth to power.”
Willie John Mahoney
Willie John Mahoney traces the immigration of an Irish farming couple who leave their famine-stricken family potato farm in Limerick, Ireland, in 1922. During their passage to America, Will and Mary Mahoney meet Vito Rizzi, a man of honor from Palermo, also fleeing an intolerable situation in Benito Mussolinias Mafia hostile Italy. The dyslexia of Willie John Mahoney, the only son of Will and Mary, will force him from school and into the streets of New York, where he becomes the head of a gang. Willie is best friends with Augi Andoleni, Jr., the only son of Willas employer, a rather frail and studious young man, a complete opposite of Willie. Tragedy will touch the Andoleni family, as the lives of the Mahoneys and Vito Rizzi will forever be intertwined along with their colorful neighbors in Little Italy, set against a backdrop of prohibition, their neighborhoodas Mafia-rich environment and World War II.

Just as wine is the touchstone of a meal, his plots lean upon wine as their unifying element. The Pichon Lalande in the Fitzgeraldian “A Chef Second to None,” a Beychevelle in “The Hunting Camp,” the Château d'Yquem in the Maugham-inspired “Worth the Wait” – each great wine helps propel the tale to its natural conclusion. Full of subtle nods to the masterworks that inspired the collection, lovers of literature and wine will find the blend exquisite. “John J. Mahoney has made a wonderful contribution to wine literature. Every Bottle...
