The Given Day

Boston 1918

Danny Coughlin, son of Captain Thomas Coughlin, is Police Department Royalty. Danny is in charge of the predominately Italian neighbourhoods of the North End. Political dissent is in the air - fresh and intoxicating. Drawn into the ideological fray as a favour to his father, Danny is soon laying his loyalties on the other side. Meanwhile Luther Lawrence is on the run. Suspected of a drug-related shooting in Tulsa, Luther abandons his wife and flees to Boston and begins work as a personal driver to the Coughlin household. After striking up a friendship with Danny and the family's Irish servant, Nora, he sees that the two once had a powerful bond. As the mystery of their relationship unravels, Luther resolves to return to his wife and son but his law-breaking past has followed him north and first he must settle scores with those hot on his trail.

Set at the end of the Great War in an era of unprecedented uncertainty, The Given Day is an utterly spectacular family epic. Meticulously researched and expertly plotted, it will transport readers to an unforgettable time and place.
