Synopsis
The murder of Boston's most beloved politician, Councillor Philip Stewart, is nothing less than an abomination. While the police struggle to solve a crime with no witnesses, no clues, and no apparent motive, the Boston Post dispatches crack investigative reporter Frank Cronin to chronicle the slaughter of a modern saint.
But at every turn, Cronin finds only more damning evidence that behind the hallowed public persona of Philip Stewart lay a dark heart of greed and corruption. As his shattering revelations draw fire from Boston's most powerful figures, Cronin vows to expose the whole truth. And as likely suspects multiply, a shocking tale of evil and retribution unfolds. . . .

Review
Maybe the fact that Code of Vengeance was called Hammurabi's Code when it came out in hardcover in 1995 had something to do with the failure of this smart, exciting political thriller to attract the large audience it deserved. The paperback offers a second chance to jump into veteran Boston journalist Charles Kenney's story about a reporter investigating the murder of a supposedly saintly and much loved politician. Along with an extremely complicated but never gratuitously tricky plot, Kenney provides some new ingredients for that long-bubbling stew of political manipulation vs. media responsibility.
From the Back Cover
"Intelligent, exciting, and a great read."
--Robert B. Parker
"HAUNTING . . . More than another reporter-as-private-eye page-turner . . . A resonating debut."
--Philadelphia Inquirer
"COMPELLING . . . Kenney's debut earns a place near the head of the crime fiction pack. . . . [A] shocking finale."
--Publishers Weekly
