About this listen

Mack Denver—ex-Marine, reluctant private eye, and occasional vigilante—has been told by his boss, Joe Macy, to keep his head down and stick to the simple insurance gigs.

But Mack’s never been good at simple.

A routine case gets second billing when he stumbles onto a web of city-wide corruption, a trio of bumbling bank robbers, a mob boss with a job offer he can’t refuse, and a new relationship with the sharp, beautiful Wanda.

With a crew of unlikely allies, Mack does his best to keep the wheels turning—and his conscience clean.

Macy was right. He should’ve stuck to the simple stuff.

Fast-paced, darkly funny, and soaked in 1940s cocktails, The Boston Boondoggle is classic noir with a modern twist—where justice comes knuckle-bruised, wise-cracked, and served with a side of angel cake.
