Good writing but a tragedy with violence hate and racism at the roots. Â

I can’t believe this is my first Dennis Lehane, considering I love many of the movies based on his other books.
This book was exactly what I expected based on movies like Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone. A solid plot that kept you engaged, tough characters, and a lot of awful shit. I enjoyed reading it, and will read more from him!

Just as a warning, there is a lot of violence and extremely racist dialogue. The writer uses this to portray the darkness that can live within humanity, and tackles modern day problems. Â
