William G. Tapply (1940–2009) was an American author best known for writing legal thrillers. A lifelong New Englander, he graduated from Amherst and Harvard before going on to teach social studies at Lexington High School. He published his first novel, Death at Charity’s Point, in 1984. A story of death and betrayal among Boston Brahmins, it introduced crusading lawyer Brady Coyne, a fishing enthusiast whom Tapply would follow through twenty-five more novels, including Follow the Sharks, The Vulgar Boatman, and the posthumously published Outwitting Trolls.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2016

    A very comfortable read. Tapply introduces us to Horowitz, the state police detective who becomes Brady Coyne's friend and go to guy in all his later novels. The story is set in a fictional town, which bugged me since I feel there is no need to do this. The setting is actually on the Massachusetts north shore close to the New Hampshire state border, which is very picturesque. The plot is not overly complicated and the reader should be able to figure out what is going on with one exception and, to me, it was a surprise. Brady also secured a steady squeeze for this story, Sylvia Szabo, who reappears in later books after his big love Edie hits the road. Of course, the title is a play on the Russian folk song, Volga Boatman.

    4.0 out of 5 stars interesting, gritty and real story

    This is an interesting, gritty and real story. I enjoyed it, and I learned about crack cocaine distribution and effects, school operations, police procedures and human nature. The characters learn from each other and grow. Humility and honesty shine. Brady Coyne is my kind of guy — human, earnest, opinionated, beer-drinking and friendly.

    One of the earlier Tapplys. An author we miss for his ability to weave the reader into the lives of his characters. This is just one in a series, well worth finding them
