Lieutenant Abls

It is 1993, summertime in Philadelphia. The Phillies are marching to the playoffs and an ordinary law-abiding citizen is marching into madness, terrorizing the city with his explosive, vengeful wrath. Hot on the case is Lieutenant Matt Gallagher. Celibate since his wife died, Matt is also the center of a large ongoing wager among friends and colleagues as to when he will end his self-imposed fast. Gallagher chases the bomber. Women chase Gallagher. The Phillies chase a pennant. Murder, mayhem, and madness in the City of Brotherly Love.
