Another great book from Duane Swierczynski, a book that spans the decades from 1965 to 2005 and three generations. It begins with the murder of two cop - Stan Walczak and his partner, George Wildey - one white and one black, one afternoon in 1965.

Stan has a son called Jimmy who also, like his father, becomes a cop and once he becomes a homicide detective he is obsessed with his father's death as no one has been charged with the murder.

What follows is a familial storyline, from Grand Father, Father to son and daughter, all of whom have served the force in one way or the other. His daughter Audrey experiences the highs and lows and is driven to drink. This is no fairytale story, it is hard hitting in parts but the story and historical content is incredible.

A gripping read, it's pretty much unputdownable as we experience the consequences of one moment back in 1965 that reverberates throughout the generations.
