| Struck me as a realistic portrayal of a man struggling between legitimacy and criminality, and the way things can spiral out of control. This is the 4th S.A. Cosby novel I’ve read and I would rank it 3rd best, above King of Ashes, not nearly so good ...more | |

"I did not enjoy this book- 2 stars is being generous. I found the writing to be bland, and all the main characters were extremely unlikable. They covered such heavy topics with absolutely no gentleness, to the point where I couldnt even imagine someo"
