Crime, bad guys, and worse guys. Don’t be looking for anyone likable in this tale or even a hint of comic relief. Hard book to get through... because of the absolute hopelessness of all the characters who, from their earliest years were almost destined for a bad outcome? Or because despite the unbelievable cruelty in this story I found nothing I have not encountered myself professionally or read about in a newspaper. Too real?
