Bid on local Needham author, Dave Zeltserman's crime novel Small Crimes.  It's crime noir at its finest.

From the mystery writing blog, Dark Party:

"Zeltserman understands the power of a smaller stage. Small stories can produce big results and unveil universal truths."

"That’s the secret to Zeltserman’s fascinating novel about small town corruption and the consequences that follow. Unlike many crime writers today addicted to glamorous, far-fetched shoot-outs, outrageously high-concept plots, and the superhero-like-antics of protagonists, Zeltserman mines the ordinary for the extraordinary."

"So instead of a comic book, Zeltserman’s readers get a tightly-wrought, character-driven neo-noir thriller that feels like it might be happening – right now."

"... the novel is really about character – about sin and redemption and the power of self-delusion. If you’re a fan of crime fiction with some brains and sophistication (not to mention some slam-bang writing) behind it – don’t miss Small Crimes.”
