Description: A gritty, street-level tale of corruption, betrayal, revenge and redemption in the world of the South Boston Irish mob. Fresh out of prison, a former state trooper wrongly convicted, gets an offer he can't refuse: track down a safe stolen from and an upper-crust, old-money lawyer's office, and deliver the contents to Police Captain Conway Lilly. Trouble is, others are looking for it too, among them the head of the Boston mob with his psycho right-hand man, plus the lovely Wellesley girl turned private detective who is in way, way over her head and then there is the remorseless killer who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
