Four friends raised in the troubled Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of 1950s New York and guided by Father Bobby end up at the Wilkinson reformatory after a prank that nearly kills a man. The violence they suffer there leaves a permanent mark and pushes some of them toward crime.
The work was originally published as Sleepers; the story is presented as allegedly autobiographical, and this Spanish-language edition appeared in 1996.
For readers of drama, crime fiction, and friendship stories set in New York.
