An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty and revenge.
Lorenze, Micheal, john and tommy shared everything- the laughter and the bruises of an impoverished childhood on New York's violent West Side. Until one of thier pranks misfired and they were sent to a reformatory school.
Twelve months of systematic mental, physical and sexual abuse left the boys transformed forever.
eleven years later, one of them had become a journalist, one a lawyer - and two killers for the mob. In a chance encounter they came face to face with one of their torturers and shot him dead in front of several withnesses. The trial that followed brought the four friends together again in one last, audacious stand- and a courtroom climax as gripping as any John Grisham novel.
I saw the movie on Channel i and decided to read the book. The book is much better than the movie. But it is not for the faint-hearted. The book really portray true friendship between friends and how jail time, the abuse and the torture they suffered, changed these 4 innocent children forever. A very good book. Five Stars.
