In May 1953, a bartender is brutally murdered behind a tavern in
the port city of Charlestown, a working-class section of Boston.
Jackie Xavier Monyhan, a longshoreman who does plenty of drinking,
is the only one who has a clue that could lead to the killer. But
fearing that he could endanger his family if he tells the police
what he knows, he decides to join the force and begin his own
pursuit of justice.
Once a lowly port worker, Jackie falls in love with Kathleen, a
gorgeous charmer he had once thought out of his league, and he
works his way up until he's a hardened police detective. As Jackie
digs deeper into the past, he uncovers secrets that point the way
to the elusive killer. But he only has so much time, and the Irish
Mafia is also looking for Jackie's quarry.
Join Jackie in "The Hook and the Badge" as he struggles to
uncover mysteries in a magnificent tale complete with violence,
romance, and suspense.
