In this gripping novel, the story unfolds on a night when Mike Malone, a Vietnam veteran, discovers a lucrative criminal operation happening in his town that he vehemently opposes. This discovery sets off a chain of violent events that ultimately reach a dramatic conclusion. Malone is a violent, alienated man who adheres strictly to his moral code, willing to enforce it at any cost.
He is infamous in every bar, police station, and within the underworld of Boston as someone not to be trifled with. Many bad things happen in the world, but none within the sight of the feared Mike Malone.
The author is a young graduate in International Relations, who had to understand how the world works before passionately embracing art in almost all its forms. An admirer of literature, a lover of cinema, and a servant of music. Hesse, Orwell, Tarantino, and Ritchie are authors whose works he wishes he had created. Since that is not possible, he tries to get closer to them through his own writing.
