S.A. Cosby: Razorblade Tears, Headline, paperback, 9781472286543

Razorblade Tears is the third of the S.A. Cosby thrillers I read and by far the one with the most violence which bothered me and the reason why I liked it the least. But still, Cosby's writing is ace.

The story is raw and powerful nevertheless : two ex con fathers with now respectable lives, one black, Ike, the other, white Billy Lee living in a trailer, share the same grief. Their sons, gay and married to each other, parents of an adopted girl, are found brutally murdered. Both fathers where ashamed of their son's gayness when they were still alive but band up to avenge and investigate their sons death. Action packed page turner but four stars from me due to the violence.
