The Given Day by Dennis Lehane

4.0

Very good to excellent realistic historical fiction set in Boston around the end of WW I. Probably 4.5 stars, not just 4.

Our main hero is a Boston cop, son of a Big Man in the Boston Police Department. Lots of real-world characters (e.g., Babe Ruth) and events, leading up the great Boston police strike and riots of 1918.
