Brogan Private Dick: The Full Backstory of James Brogan
(The Detective Who Doesn’t Stop)
James “Jimmy” Brogan was born in Boston in 1946, the son of a dockworker and a woman who could arrange flowers like she was painting the Sistine Chapel. He grew up in the brownstone on the edge of Dorchester that would one day become his sanctuary — a big, paid-off family house that most of the block had already chopped into apartments. He was big even as a kid — 6'3" by the time he finished growing, broad-shouldered, with hands that looked like they’d been through a war before he ever saw one. He played senior hockey as an enforcer: light touch on the puck, fastest shot in the league, and goalies still flinched when he wound up. Off the ice he was quiet, almost shy, until someone pushed too hard.
