Produktbeschreibung
Three boys, linked by a terrible secret, grow into adulthood while sharing an unshakable bond. David, the survivor of an abusive childhood, attempts to forge the perfect nuclear family. Instead, his wife's devastating miscarriage and David's scandalous infatuation with Jackie, the sister of his best friend, destroys his marriage. A second attempt at a stable life is cut short when David is murdered in a robbery gone wrong. Proclaimed a hero, David's life appears to have ended with a noble sacrifice. Now released from their earlier pledge not to take revenge on David's father, the remaining two friends are determined to seek justice. James, the successful investment advisor, leaves the details to the brilliant Finch, an itinerant wanderer temporarily returned for David's funeral. After an early attempt fails, Finch's clever new plan will ensure a devastating reckoning provided there is enough time for it to unfold. To achieve his goal, Finch must also control his long-suppressed love for David's beautiful widow while keeping secret the truth about how David died. Through career changes, marriages, divorces, infidelity, family secrets, tragic accidents and dramatic renewal, The Boys builds to a surprise climax as each of the men's lives is shattered and rebuilt.
