      <image:caption>From the author of Night of the Furies and Dark Heat.   Babe Ruth’s glove, a bloody shirt, a diamond-encrusted bag: the score of a lifetime.   Drowning beneath a wave of gentrification, Drew Hackett wants only to support his family and grow his weekend business. When he learns that Boston sports legend Bernie Oakes has a memorabilia collection ripe for robbery, he thinks his problems are solved. Drew puts together a daring plan that—somehow—succeeds.   But nothing is ever as it seems. Moving the goods only sinks Drew deeper into trouble, the kind of trouble that means spilled blood and an executioner’s blade looming over his head and the heads of everyone he loves. He has one chance to correct things. He slips into a scheme that takes him from high society to a secret sex club, from a grandiose private school to the sludge beneath the city, and finally into the relentless grip of a crime boss looking to squeeze him like a grape.   Drew must brave it all or there’ll be No Score.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - From New Pulp Press:</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the start of this strong first novel from the pseudonymous Taylor, career criminal Giorgio DiGiacomo shoots his mother and her husband, Peter “Bricks” Mancini (“reputed mob boss of Boston”), in cold blood one summer day in 1967. Giorgio, who sees himself as an avenging Fury, blames his mother and Mancini for the death of his crime-boss father, Rico, decades earlier. As the backstory unfolds, Giorgio passes up opportunities to turn from his doom as he resolutely marches toward a nemesis as inevitable as it is thematically appropriate; his inability to understand what is going on is as essential to his nature as is his ruthlessness and lack of remorse. In flashbacks, Taylor brings to life Boston in the first half of the 20th century (corrupt Mayor James Curley hires fake Ku Klux Klansmen to burn a cross on the Common and threaten to drive him out of Massachusetts in a successful effort to gain voter sympathy), while the classical allusions give this noir gem additional texture.
