Brighton

Kevin Pearce--baseball star, honor student--was fifteen when he left Brighton in the back of a cab. He and his buddy Bobby Scales had just committed heinous violence for what they thought were the best of reasons. Kevin didn't want a pass, but he was getting it anyway.... Twenty-six years later, Kevin is a Pulitzer Prize--winning journalist for the Boston Globe . He's never been back to his old block, having avoided his family and, especially, Bobby Scales. Then he learns his old friend is the prime suspect in a string of local murders. Suddenly, Kevin's headed home--to protect a friend and the secret they share. To report this story to the end and protect those he loves, he must face not only an elusive, slippery killer, but also his own corrupted conscience.
