A medical student, a law student, a dental student, and a mob-connected friend have increased their bond from high school days when one of their group is murdered. Deborah Sterling, a Boston hospital nurse, was the 7th victim of the Boston Stocking Killer and the group’s only female confidant. The four grief-stricken, enraged men pool their resources to seek out and destroy the murderer amidst fruitless efforts by Boston Police and FBI resources in the tumultuous 1960s. Edmund Sorelli, the Boston Stocking Killer, targets young nurses fitting the profile of his unwed nurse mother. A common thread from the characters’ teenage experiences leads to a lethal confrontation, one step ahead of the BPD and the FBI.
The tale is mindful of the Boston Strangler rampage. The author found details of such a murderer’s probable adolescence and their contribution to a serial killer’s adulthood. The reader can’t help but relive his or her high school and following years as the chapters unfold.
