“Taylor delivers a revenge tragedy that reads like a dime novel by Sophocles, at once epic and compact. It’s violent, operatic pulp. Badass and bloody good.” —Jedidiah Ayres, author of Peckerwood “If Jim Thompson wrote about Boston’s mean old days, then you’d have an inkling of the sheer quality of writing and gut-clenching darkness that J. M. Taylor provides in Night of the Furies. An outstanding debut.” —Todd Robinson, author of The Big Bounce “[Night of the Furies] is a more than a noir novel. It’s a sizzling epic spanning generations, written by a writer at the top of his game. Scary thing is, you get the sense that Taylor is writing from personal experience.” —Vincent Zandri, bestselling author of Murder by Moonlight In the late 1930s, Rico DiGiacomo ruled all of East Boston until he was brutally murdered by his own lieutenant, Bricks Mancini. That night, Rico’s son Giorgio overheard the details as they were reported to the one who ordered it: Rico’s wife. Giorgio vowed to avenge his father, no matter how long it took. Now, thirty years later, Giorgio has finally fulfilled that promise. As Mancini’s bodyguards pursue him into biker bars and sleazy motels like a pack of vengeful demons, Giorgio recalls a life of humiliation at his mother’s hands and the wisdom his father passed on to him. What he doesn’t know is that Fate has still more in store for him, and one night can be very long indeed.
