Joe Smiga Blackest of Fridays

Annotation

Have you ever waited for stores to open before daybreak on Black Friday? Its still dark out before sunrise. What was it like for you? You are probably anxious, maybe cold and certainly raring to go into those stores. Never suspecting anything could happen to you or to hundreds of others by a band of men bent on destruction. Blackest of Fridays leads us through events that traumatize the minds and the bodies of people who wanted only to shop for their loved ones. Then a sacrilegious occurrence happens on Christmas Eve at a midnight mass. When will this stop or will it ever? Detective Lieutenant John McNamara of the Natick Police Department is spearheading the investigation and promises they will be caught and punished. How can he make such a promise?
