They were the Sheridan men, ruled by passion, betrayed by love, heirs to a legacy of violence and forbidden desire. Gus, Boston's top homicide cop: he knew equally well the backroom politics of City Hall and the private passions of the very rich, a man haunted by the wanton courage and perilous obsessions he inherited from his father... Conn, the patriarch, a lawless cop who spawned a circle of vengeance and betrayal that would span half a century... and Chris, Gus's beloved son, a Harvard lawyer and criminologist, fated to risk everything to break the chain of obsession and rage... Three generations linked by crime and punishment--cops and heroes, fathers, sons, and lovers united at last by revelations that could bring a family to its knees...

" Parker called this book, "his favorite book that no one read." It's an interesting story that follows two families through three generations, starting in Ireland and moving to, where else, Boston. "
" A decent book but wasn't one that I "just couldn't put down". "
" Like most of his books, it is a bit formulaic. Still enjoyed. "
" One of my favorite Parker books. It's not Spenser, Stone, or Randall. This one is about Irish immigrants in Boston. Quite good. "
" This is a stand alone, not a Spenser. I guess I really enjoy the writing style of Robert B Parker, no matter the subject or the character. This jumps in time and geography. Quite the convolution. Thoroughly leisure reading at its best. "
" A really great read - connects 3 generations from Ireland to Boston. Very different from most of Robert Parker's other books, but I love them all :) "
" I am usually a Spenser fan and found this one instead. A pretty entertaining look at three genearations of Irish families. Not great, but a nice change of pace. "
" Ok, I love action books! Very easy reads and usually entertaining. This was held true to those characteristcs. "
" Loved this novel about three generations of Irish/Irish-American men: grandfather, father, and son. My favorite male author, Parker's characterization and dialogue have heart and humor. "
" A Balls to Brass book! Splendid in its depiction of family demons and how each man does his best and worst to remedy them. "
" A very different kind of story from Parker. This is a multi-generational story of Irish cops in America. "
