BRIGHTON - Softcover

"I have enjoyed all of Michael Harvey's books, but his latest, BRIGHTON, is his best. I couldn't stop reading."--John Grisham

"A tale of murder and old friends-and a paean to the dark, gritty streets of Boston."--Entertainment Weekly

"Sharp as the blades used to gut the guilty and innocent alike, Harvey's fierce stand-alone is a blood-soaked tribute to finding your past and living with the consequences."--Kirkus (Starred Review)

"Gritty. . . . Harvey crisply evokes the dark side of the Boston underclass. . . . Intense, twist-filled."--Publishers Weekly

"The comparisons to Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos, and Richard Price are all apt. . . .Brighton is a chilling tale. You'll come up for air, at the end, shivering and in need of a drink."--New York Journal of Books

"Masterful. . . . With a gritty atmosphere, extraordinary characters, and several stunning twists. . . . Strongly recommended for fans of Dennis Lehane."--Booklist, Starred Review

"I may (or may not) be the first to compare Michael Harvey's Brighton to Dennis Lehane's Mystic River, but I won't be the last. . . . both books approach Thomas Wolfe or Pat Conroy levels of writing. . . . [Harvey] has seriously upped his game with Brighton."--Bookpage Top Pick

"I can't think of a better way to describe this book than a gritty look at what life was like on the tougher side of Boston. . . . Each character was well written and Michael Harvey definitely knows what he's doing."--San Francisco Book Review

"Creating characters vulnerable and brave is Harvey's artistry. He'll win prizes for this beauty. His characters are real, and the atmosphere is electric, oppressive and virulent."--Durango Telegraph

"BRIGHTON is the f***king bomb! I loved it."--Stephen King
