University City Public Library Book Challenge: Razorblade Tears

Press release from University City Public Library Book Challenge:

Razorblade Tears

After their married sons were brutally murdered by unknown assailants, Ike Randolph and Buddy Lee don't have much in common but their grief. But when someone vandalizes their shared headstone with racist and homophobic graffiti, the two fathers team up to track down their sons' killers, forcing them to delve into their own homophobic and prejudiced tendencies as they try to find out who killed their boys.

This was raw and violent, much like Cosby's previous novel, Blacktop Wasteland. But while that was a southern heist, this one is a sharp, insightful examination of bigotry, hatred, love, and grief. An excellent novel, from an excellent author.
