The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout

 
Jim and Bob Burgess have a past. When he was four years old, Bobby killed his father.  Now in their fifties, and far from their native Maine, they are both lawyers in New York City. Jim is a successful corporate attorney, while Bob works for Legal Aid. Jim has always belittled Bob and Bob has always taken it in stride; he idolizes his big brother.

When their nephew is arrested for rolling a pig's head down the length of a Muslim Mosque, they go back to Shirley Falls to help their sister. Suddenly, they are thrown into a family situation that changes their dynamics forever.
