Synopsis
Once part of the holy triumvirate ruling the South Boston Irish mob, Kyle Nevin is set up with the Feds by head mobster, Red Mahoney, which leads him to a court case and a stretch in the slammer. Now out of prison, Kyle wants revenge on his old boss and mentor, and just as importantly, to reclaim his former glory.
A kidnapping gone horribly wrong leads to a major book deal for Kyle and a newfound celebrity status – but also brings about bigger problems for both himself and anyone unlucky enough to cross his path.
Pariah is a heady mix of crime novel, history, social commentary and a satirical look at the publishing industry.
Reviews
‘Pariah is the perfect pitch of reality, history, crime, celebrity, plagiarism, and sheer astounding writing.... If every writer has one great book in them, then Dave can rest easy’ Ken Bruen
‘White knuckle-ride... a cracking piece of straightforward, hard-boiled noir... different kinds of venality are put wittily under the microscope as the book rattles along to its terrific conclusion’ Metro
