The Fence: A Police Cover-Up Along Boston's Racial Divide, Paperback

``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.
