Description

A searing crime novel that explores the complexities of youth and identity. In 1984, Richie Lionetti and his friends face a final summer of freedom and recklessness in New Bedford, Massachusetts. As they navigate the city's violence and degradation, they search for meaning and a way out of their troubled lives. Part coming-of-age tale, part dark crime thriller, Dangerous Boys is a gripping story about young men fighting to find themselves and a better future. With its jarringly violent and tender portrayal of life on the margins, this novel will keep you engaged until the very end. Praise for the author's versatility and skill in crafting a compelling narrative has been echoed by critics, who note that Dangerous Boys is both character-driven and unflinchingly honest about the darkness and desperation of its characters' lives.
