"A monumental account of an urban travesty....[It] has all the earmarks of a classic."
-Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island

 

Dick Lehr's The Fence, subtitled, "A Police Cover-up Along Boston's Racial Divide," is a shocking true story of racism, brutality, official lies and negligence, when the truth about the savage beating of black plainclothes policeman by white officers was hidden behind a "blue wall of silence."  Respected journalist Lehr, winner of the Hancock Award, the Loeb Award, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and bestselling author of Black Mass and Judgment Ridge, sheds a brilliant light on all aspects of this powerful, disturbing event and its aftermath.
