Perhaps 90 % of everything I know about the Sacco-Vanzetti murder trials that lasted from 1920 until 1927 I learned from Rick Boyer's 1984, reissued 1990 detective thriller THE PENNY FERRY. Dental surgeon Doctor Charles Adams ("Doc") makes his second of nine appearances as an easily bored man. crimes and mysteries are a sure fire way to waken him from his daily slumber. ***** And in THE PENNY FERRY Doc, wife Mary and her brother, Lieutenant of Police Joseph Brinelli get swept up in a scheme involving Sacco and Vanzetti and evidence that will either clear them or prove them murderers. Is it the Mafia on the trail of a mysterious photograph that will give Sacco his alibi? Or is it a 92 year old WASP who masterminded the anarchists' guilty verdict and execution? ***** The hints and clues are fairly presented. The red herrings are indeed deceptive, but with care you can tell them from the real thing. ***** Doc Adams would not be Doc if he didn't find himself on the receiving end of kicks, blows, frights and general mayhem. Half thriller, half puzzle to be unraveled, THE PENNY FERRY is a memorable yarn for a rainy day. -OOO-
