Thomas O'Malley

Thomas O'Malley writes gritty crime fiction rooted in Boston's working-class neighborhoods. A former longshoreman and union organizer, Thomas brings authenticity to his stories of people caught between loyalty and survival. His Southie Noir trilogy has been praised for its unflinching look at poverty, addiction, and the bonds of community. He still lives in the Dorchester triple-decker where he grew up.
