© 2026 The Fathers' Pact. All rights reserved.
South of Boston- It began with a promise made decades prior. Six boys, bound by the same Pact and the same rhythm of Dorchester's Hemmy Park.
From the gritty streets of Boston to the quiet corners of adulthood on the South Shore- We explore the weight of grief, friendship, the power of music, and the lengths fathers will go to avenge those they love. Especially their daughters.
WHAT IS THE PACT?
If anything happens to any of the boys' daughters - The father can't do anything about it. Two of the other boys take care of it. And only the two chosen are the ones who will ever know who carried out the vengeful act.
Anthony J. Falco weaves in music, sports, Boston, Los Angeles, and Easter eggs for the reader in a very clever way. The story is an entertaining yet powerful novel.

“A heartfelt Boston, (and L.A.) story that feels like stepping into a forgotten corner of time. The brotherhood is palpable, as is the tension. Wide audience with this one."
Ghost Reader 4
“Anthony J. Falco has crafted a story that is as gritty as it is warm. It’s the perfect blend of Boston grit and the universal bond of brotherhood.”
Hemmy Park. Where it all began. Dorchester, MA. Mid 1980's.
“The music and the timely placed Easter eggs are the perfect backdrop for a story set in the formative years of GenX-ers like myself. As a father of a daughter- I loved it.”
Ghost Reader 5
“How on God's green earth this is Falco's debut is beyond me. Reading along with the chronological playlist made it even better. The song selection is perfectly chaotic.Simlar to the nover. It all 'blends' as the boys say.”
“The atmosphere and nostalgic 1980s vibe are unmatched. The story stays with you long after the final page This story truly affected me. It sneaks up on you too. That's the only way to describe it"
Ghost Reader 6
“TWO THUMBS UP!-This is one surprising debut. The novel is an emotional ride. I was laughing one minute, and then found myself panicked. Also, I kept asking. "what's next?" It's a goood read."
