What Goes Around Comes Around: A Mystery Novel Featuring Bartender Brian McNulty (Bartender Brian McNulty Mysteries)

What Goes Around Comes Around follows the adventures of Brian McNulty, the red-diaper-baby bartender who (abetted by his father and son) attempts to keep Manhattan's crime solved and cocktail glasses brimming. Filling in for a friend at the fancy East Side saloon and eatery called The Ocean Club, McNulty finds more than he bargained for: a body floating in the East River. Combining complex characters with strikingly offbeat perspectives on left versus right, old versus new, and the good guys versus the bad guys, What Goes Around Comes Around is the stunning follow-up to Lehane's series debut. I'd been back behind the bar of the Midtown Sheraton for about two weeks, after a six-month hiatus-the hiatus because my foot-dragging bartenders' union took that long to get my job back after the corporation fired me. When a murdered body is discovered, Manhattan bartender Brian McNulty finds himself haunted by the ghosts of past barrooms, a situation that pits him against a killer in the underworlds of Broadway and Atlantic City
