The year is 1974. Boston's Jamaica Plain is a neighborhood under siege skating along the razor's edge of decline. The banks have REDLINED Jamaica Plain, causing the housing market to crash, wiping out local homeowner's lifetime investments and opening the neighborhood to blockbusters and slumlords. Now, someone is systematically torching abandoned buildings and the charred body of Sandy Morgan, a dedicated young neighborhood organizer, has been found among the ashes.

As a young girl, i lived where the sw corridor is today ! While this is a fictional novel, Mr. Wise has a gift of getting the truth out there of late 60s early 70s with a few twists . I thoroughly enjoyed listening as I also had fun identifying the characters as they appeared with Bob Gaglinis fabulous Boston accents.... it was a terrifying time in Boston’s neighborhoods . Particularly Roxbury and Jamaica Plain and that “ road” that was stopped...left behind a desolate land where families had once thrived... life... was never the same... end of innocence.
I hope Mr. Wise continues this story... there’s so much more !!!!
Doyle’s is closed now... boy if those walls could talk ! Thank goodness for these folks ! They built this city to what it is today! Thank you
