"Small Mercies" by Dennis Lehane.

Summer of 1974, South Boston. The desegregation busing is about to happen. One night, a young Black man is found dead in a subway station, and Mary Pat’s seventeen-year-old daughter doesn’t come home.

The story is brutal, raw, and driven by a complex character (say, unlikeable but unable to take eyes off her). Maybe not easy to read(with offensive slurs and graphic violence), but unputdownable till the end.
