Synopsis

Eddie Sabella is the city columnist at a New York tabloid, a thirty-seven-year-old hot shot who is a ferocious reporter and competitor and hard to beat on a story. And now he’s stumbled upon the biggest story of his career: a statue that’s been stolen. And it’s not just any statue: it’s one that seemingly wept real tears only the day before, an event that made headlines. Eddie’s pursuit of the story behind the theft brings him into contact with a colorful cast of characters, including a respected restaurateur with a secret past who had donated the statue to the church, a cantankerous old priest with a taste for fine wine and expensive cigars, a stylishly dressed bookie who has the best table in the best restaurants in town, a legendary hitman who uses countless different methods to kill his prey, and an aging, still-volatile Mafia soldier who operates a funeral home but dreams of owning a tiki bar. And then there is Phyllis, a raven-haired beauty who was Eddie’s first love and had disappeared without a trace fifteen years before. Phyllis makes a startling appearance as Eddie is dining at a popular restaurant, nailing him to his seat and disrupting his personal life while he hustles to solve the mystery of the stolen statue, a mystery with more twists and turns than he could ever have imagined.

Goodreads review by Amelia on February 19, 2022

Gritty, yet inspiring all at once. The writing is decent enough, but the narration bumps it up to a four star. It slightly misses in a few areas, but overall it’s an enjoyable read with a unique story. Between the narration, the mystery & old school newspaper feel it kept me enthralled.......more

I'm glad I took the chance and used ab Audible credit on this, because I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the mysteries I'd pick up from the library as a young teenager. I'm not sure how to explain it, just, it had that kind of 90s amateur sleuth mystery vibe. But in a good way. It was lighter t......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on March 13, 2021

As I have been a writer for a newspaper in my city of Toronto, I could really relate to the very likeable Eddie Sabella, who chases the stories for his paper in New York City. In particular, a curious visit to the site of a statue of St. Joseph in a church that has appeared to be cry. While it is no......more

Where Have You Gone Without Me by Peter Bonventre is a great listen! I really enjoyed how this book evolved and the cast of characters. The imagery was well done.
