Bea Thompson (USA: IL) (2011/10/10):
n a winter's night in 1935, six Bronx children flee after a local drunk and child molester is felled by blows from his own shovel. Later, the miscreant father of one of the children confesses and is executed for the crime; the children swear never to speak of what they believe really happened. Years pass, and the now-adult survivors find they must confront the event again. Lives, careers, families, and more are in grave jeopardy as one of their own plots revenge. Veteran crime novelist Uhnak ( False Witness , LJ 7/81) has crafted a powerful, compelling story of guilt, truth, friendship, and family that should command a wide, lasting readership.
Highly recommended.
