First Novel
The Chieftains of South Boston
How much are we defined by the place where we grow up, and how much can we defy those forces?
Matthew Mahoney escaped South Boston after high school but returns to get married. His two older brothers never left and are at the top of their respective games—politics and the Irish Mafia. At the wedding, family fireworks go off in spectacular fashion. The night ends with an incident that sends the whole city of Boston into turmoil. An intense seven-day drama creates the ultimate test for the brothers: how to be loyal to family, to friends and to a place called home.
