Meet the charming, brawling Daley brothers. Joe is a cop whose gambling habits have dragged him down into the city's underworld. Michael is a lawyer, always the smartest man in the room. And Ricky is the youngest son, a prince of thieves whose latest heist may be his last. For the Daleys, crime is the family business--they're simply on different sides of it. Then a killer, a man who hunts women with brutal efficiency and no sign of stopping, strikes too close to the Daley home. The brothers unite to find the Strangler, a journey that leads to the darkest corners of Boston--and exposes an even deeper mystery that threatens to tear the family apart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes an excerpt of \u003ci\u003eDefending Jacob\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNAMED ONE OF THE BEST CRIME NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times - The Guardian - St. Louis Post-Dispatch - The Kansas City Star\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Reminiscent of Dennis Lehane's \u003ci\u003eMystic River\u003c\/i\u003e, the novel takes us into a dark world where goodness is smothered and villainy thrives. . . .
