An extraordinary thriller - gripping, haunting, and marvelously told - about two friends growing up in a rapidly changing Boston who must face the sins of their past in the midst of a series of brutal murders.
"You came back here to bury your past.... Thing is, you gotta kill it first."
Kevin Pearce - baseball star, honor student, the pride of Brighton - was 15 when he left town in the back of his uncle's cab. He and his buddy, Bobby Scales, had just committed heinous violence for what they thought were the best of reasons. Kevin didn't want a pass, but he was getting it anyway. Bobby would stay and face the music; Kevin's future would remain as bright as ever. At least that was the way things were supposed to work, except in Brighton things never work the way they're supposed to.
Twenty-six years later, Kevin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for The Boston Globe. He's never been back to his old block, having avoided his family and especially Bobby Scales. Then he learns his old friend is the prime suspect in a string of local murders. Suddenly Kevin's headed home - to protect a friend and the secret they share. To report this story to the end and protect those he loves, he must face not only an elusive, slippery killer but his own corrupted conscience.
A powerhouse of a thriller, Brighton is a riveting and elegiac exploration of promises broken, debts owed, and old wrongs made right...no matter what the cost.

Michael Harvey captures the place, the time and the people perfectly. Listening to the novel I was transported back across the miles and the years. Harvey captures it all. It's a first rate murder mystery wrapped in a coming of age. The characters are richly drawn. I know, I knew some of them in other bodies with other names.
Do get this book. A "wicked pissa" good book as they used to say back in Brighton. A good mystery is rare. A novel that captures the past and presents it so deftly equally rare.
Buy the book and take the ride. And say a prayer for two kids names Billy and Kevin and all the ones just like them.
Mystery gets no better.
