"This popular writer just keeps getting better and better, and this sharp, intelligent, suspenseful novel is sure to win him a lot of new fans...Lehane is one of the small group of crime writers whose novels reveal a deep fascination with people, with motivation and inner turmoil and the subtle things that make characters walk off the page...he is one of our best fiction writers period." Booklist "A spellbinding tale...a powerfully lacerating story, by an author who knows every block of the neighborhood and every hair on his character's heads." Kirkus Reviews "At a time when too many mediocre writers are churning out forgettable mysteries, Lehane has let loose with a stand-alone novel of depth and fervent passion. His ability to create crystal-clear portraits of humanity and then place them in the darker side of life is a writer's true gift."USA Today
