Review: Riveting trip through the underworld of Boston
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 8, 2013
A riveting mystery that surprises us with countless twists and turns, gets off the ground when a federal prosecutor is stunned when a homeless man calls him by his old nickname nobody but his long-missing brother should know. From there, the story takes on an unending ride through all parts of Boston, from affluent suburbs to the Mafia-run neighborhoods, to the sewer pipes that serve as makeshift hotels for the homeless. The only negative is that the story has a couple very far-fetched plot lines, one of which is portraying the mob as having the patience of Job (and apparently unlimited resources) waiting 13 years for a certain clue to turn up. I won't reveal more than that as it pertains heavily to the main story. But the overall plot and storyline is exciting, suspenseful, and a fair amount of action. And the Bonz character is worth the price of admission. The plusses far outweigh the few minuses, though, and I would recommend this book without reservation. I will certainly read more from this author.
