I didn't sleep properly for 3 days while reading this book. It's so tense. Excellent though, a look at a side of life few know, and the codes & rules if that life.

The first in a trilogy about a war in 1980's Providence, RI between the Irish and Italian. The characters are distinct and starting to get flushed out, and I really like our flawed main character, Danny Ryan. I can't wait for the next book to come out. Reading this was like watching a movie.
