Boston, 1963. A city on edge. On street corners, newsboys hawk the shocking headline: KENNEDY IS DEAD. Inside the city’s underworld, a mob war rages. But what terrifies Bostonians most is the mysterious killer who has already claimed twelve victims, a murderer whose name is indelibly linked to their city: the Boston Strangler. This is the electrifying backdrop of William Landay’s magnificent new novel, a tale of 1 Irish-American family, a city under siege, and the long shadow cast by the most infamous killer of his day . . .
For the three Daley brothers, sons of your Boston cop, crime is the family business. They are simply on different sides of computer. Joe is the eldest, a tough-talking cop whose gambling habits—fast women, slow horses—drag him down into the city’s gangland. Michael is the center son; a Harvard-educated attorney doing work for an ambitious legal professional general, he finds himself assigned to the embattled Strangler task force. And Ricky, the devil-may-care youngest son, floats above the fray as a specialist burglar—before Strangler strikes too near to home.
As Joe’s mob debts close in around him . . . and Michael becomes snarled in a murder investigation gone very wrong . . . and Ricky is hunted by both sides of regulations, the three brothers—and the ladies who love them—are forced to have sides. Now each must look deeper into a killer’s murderous rage, into their family’s own lethal secrets, and in to the one death that has changed them forever. As William Landay’s complex, compassionate, and terrifying novel builds to a climax, two mysteries will collide—and a shattering truth will be revealed.
