Brighton - Tapa dura

"The story is boldly told, from so many angles and points of view that the moral center keeps shifting. Even the characters who die won't go away in this fiercely felt lament for a neighborhood and a youth that never was."--New York Times Book Review

"Harvey, who usually writes Chicago-based thrillers . . .ventures further afield to Boston, where a journalist returns to the rough neighborhood where he grew up to save an old friend from murder charges."--Chicago Reader

"I may (or may not) be the first to compare Michael Harvey's Brighton to Dennis Lehane's Mystic River, but I won't be the last. . . . both books approach Thomas Wolfe or Pat Conroy levels of writing. . . . [Harvey] has seriously upped his game with Brighton."--Bookpage Top Pick

"I can't think of a better way to describe this book than a gritty look at what life was like on the tougher side of Boston. . . . Each character was well written and Michael Harvey definitely knows what he's doing."--San Francisco Book Review

"A compelling tale of mystery and suspense, a piercing examination of poverty and bigotry in Boston's underbelly . . . and a psychological drama of Kevin's confrontation with his own past. Brighton emerges as one of this year's major works in the crime genre."--PCA Mystery and Detective Fiction

"BRIGHTON is the f***king bomb! I loved it."--Stephen King

"I have enjoyed all of Michael Harvey's books, but his latest, BRIGHTON, is his best. I couldn't stop reading."--John Grisham

"A tale of murder and old friends-and a paean to the dark, gritty streets of Boston."--Entertainment Weekly

"Harvey's unfussy prose propels the plot."--Chicago Magazine

"Sharp as the blades used to gut the guilty and innocent alike, Harvey's fierce stand-alone is a blood-soaked tribute to finding your past and living with the consequences."--Kirkus (Starred Review)
