“A heartfelt Boston, (and L.A.) story that feels like stepping into a forgotten corner of time. The brotherhood is palpable, as is the tension. Wide audience with this one."
Ghost Reader 4
“Anthony J. Falco has crafted a story that is as gritty as it is warm. It’s the perfect blend of Boston grit and the universal bond of brotherhood.”
Hemmy Park. Where it all began. Dorchester, MA. Mid 1980's.
“The music and the timely placed Easter eggs are the perfect backdrop for a story set in the formative years of GenX-ers like myself. As a father of a daughter- I loved it.”
Ghost Reader 5
“How on God's green earth this is Falco's debut is beyond me. Reading along with the chronological playlist made it even better. The song selection is perfectly chaotic.Simlar to the nover. It all 'blends' as the boys say.”
“The atmosphere and nostalgic 1980s vibe are unmatched. The story stays with you long after the final page This story truly affected me. It sneaks up on you too. That's the only way to describe it"
