Irish Black Kindle Edition

by David Lennon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
See all formats and editions
As racial tension escalates in the wake of the court-ordered desegregation of the city’s public schools, the already-on-edge neighborhood of South Boston is rocked by a series of seemingly gang-related killings. But when three children are murdered, police detective Tommy Doyle begins to wonder if something more sinister is at play. Are the killings all connected, and how could the killing of the children so closely mirror a nightmare from his own childhood?

As the investigations continue, Doyle forms an uneasy alliance, but soon finds himself being pulled into a dark journey through his own psyche.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mysterious killing spree rocks and already roiled Boston -- love it.

Another great book from this author. This book took me back to South Boston at the height of the busing era -- with a twist. David Lennon has created great characters and an interesting and compelling storyline that leads to an unexpected conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bullseye from David Lennon
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016
I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of this book. David Lennon continues to stretch and explore new territory with each of his books. This one is set in a time and place as distinct as the characters who inhabit them: Boston during its days of highest racial strife, after the city had been ordered by the court to desegregate. Tommy Doyle isn't a bad cop, just a very conflicted one: about his failed marriage, about his drinking, and about his sexuality. The strange death of his friend and fellow cop, James Michael "Sullly" Sullivan, leads Doyle into a labyrinth of the commonplace, the unbelievable and the supernatural. Death follows death, and Doyle stays close behind as he tries to understand what's going on to those around him and to himself. Where do the dreams end and reality begin? Along this path he meets a hustler, and while they dance suspiciously with and around each other, you find yourself hoping Tommy will discover his own truths at the same time he discover the increasingly dark truths in the story.
