The Fixer by Joseph Finder, 376 pages

This was my first Joseph Finder book.  In this story former investigative journalist, Rick Hoffman finds lots of money hidden in a wall in his father's house.  His father had a stroke 18 years ago and cannot speak to tell Rick why the money is there.   Rick asks a few questions and alerts the wrong people and his life is suddenly in danger.  The story is set in Boston, and the money ends up being related to the Big Dig, the huge construction project in the 1990s that took forever and involved lots of corruption.

This was a good book, but I never fell in love with the characters.  It was a fun, quick adventure with a satisfying ending.
