A vivid, intense, yet soulful story of community, bigotry, the fierce love of kin - all set against a historical moment in the streets of Boston and the wider U.S. On one level it's a mystery and a story of retribution. Yet, there's layers of thoughtful characterization, insightful description of place and time plus a stark reminder that hatred and violence still fester in the tightest knit of communities.
