A murder with no apparent motive, fear and distrust of police, a mix of some questionable characters who want to put a lid on the killing and their connection to the victim. This is book # 2 in the series New England Mysteries featuring private investigator Michael Hanlon.

A Quiet Evening begins in New London, with stops along the way in Greenport and Montauk, NY, trips to Vermont and a little action in other Connecticut towns.
