An author talk with Frances McNamara on her new West-End-based book, Joy Street Jail Murder in a Nutshell. Book Description: A man found drunk on a sidewalk in Boston's West End is taken to Joy Street Jail; he's found dead in the morning. Young Peter Attwood is the policeman who brought him in. When local politician Martin Lomasney gets complaints from his Jewish voters that the man was a well-known jeweler, medical examiner Dr. Jake Magrath is called on the carpet. Morphine poisoning caused the death. Frustrated by the shoddy police work that threatens to convict Peter of negligence, Magrath is near resigning his job. But Frances Glessner Lee and Magrath's staff are determined to clear Peter. Blacklisted policeman Mack plunges into the multi-ethnic culture of the West End to find the truth. There are secrets buried in the depths of the settlement houses and tenements of the vibrant section of the city and they have to be exposed to exonerate the young policeman. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The experience is very good, the tour guide keeps talking for an hour, amusing everyone. You can experience all the city views on the land surface. The moment I launched the water, I was videoing it. I met other duck boats during the journey. Everyone would learn to duck and say hello to each other.

西行阿里

The Granite Rock Monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British and the North American colonial militias (well I admit I&#39;m checking it now) Now this is the terminal of Boston&#39;s Freedom Road. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park to think of the top of the stone tablet. The only way is to climb a total of 294 steps, and mark the numbers every other section, so that people who are panting and climbing have a number of monuments in their hearts. In fact, there is only a small space, but looking out through the small windows on all sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is also worth it ～
