A TASTY DEAL THAT TURNS SOUR

Benjamin Abbott was a Wall Street trader whose high-powered activities earned him a spell in jail. Returning to Newbury, the picturesque Connecticut town where he grew up, his family's limping estate agency business seems to be his saviour. Then, out of the blue, Ben's offered a deal that's too lucrative to turn down. But when he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a murder that wasn't part of that deal, Ben Abbott's career takes yet another turn, and he finds himself in the role of neophyte private investigator.

"Scott writes wisely and wittily about post-1980s America and the caste-ridden community of Newbury. The plot is a cracker and in Ben he has the perfect narrating participant, shrewd, compassionate and profoundly engaging."
