“Ike Randolph has spent the last fifteen years free from incarceration, maintaining a clean record without even a minor traffic violation. However, as a Black man, the arrival of police at his doorstep induces an instinctive fear. The shocking news awaiting him is the murder of his son, Isiah, and Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike, who never fully embraced his son, is devastated by the tragic loss. Derek’s father, Buddy Lee, harbors shame for Derek’s homosexuality, mirroring Derek’s embarrassment about his father’s criminal past.

Despite their differences, Buddy Lee, who still has connections in the criminal underworld, is determined to uncover the truth behind his son’s murder. Ike and Buddy Lee, both ex-convicts bound by a shared history of crime and a profound love for their deceased sons, join forces in a relentless pursuit of revenge. As they strive to honor their sons in death in ways they couldn’t in life, Ike and Buddy Lee must confront their prejudices and preconceptions about each other and their children. In their quest for justice, these hardened men will unleash a storm of vengeance upon those responsible for hurting their beloved boys.

S. A. Cosby’s Razorblade Tears is a provocative and fast-paced narrative that explores themes of bloody retribution, profound transformation, and the possibility of redemption, as Ike and Buddy Lee navigate a complex journey fueled by grief and the quest for justice.”
