Paradise Park 
	2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards Quarter-finalist

"This murder mystery unfolds in the infamous Five Points neighborhood
 of post-Civil War New York and holds up well against any in its genre.
 Sergeant William Muldoon is an honest cop, a Boss Tweed favorite,
 and a champion wrestler in the saloons and brawl-halls of lower Manhattan.
 When his young protégé is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit,
 Muldoon must find the real killer. His search takes him from the Irish
 boarding houses and immigrant tenements of Paradise Park to the mansions
 of Fifth Avenue with stops along the way at the secret haunts of Nativists
 and racists. A simple plot and clean prose make for a solid piece of
 historical fiction. Muldoon’s inner ruminations on the status of the Irish
 and the period dialogue throughout the book may not be pitch-perfect, but
 they succeed because the author has not overreached."
  "a no-nonsense page-turner."  -- Publisher's Weekly
