“Gripping and powerful stuff…Vivid characters, plausible events, and scenes rich in human pathos make it an outstanding first novel.”
“Malcolm Hillgartner narrates with an old-time radio newscaster’s skill, though he can sound like a ghetto youth with attitude when needed.”

“Scary, violent, and caustically funny…unmistakably authentic.”
“Stunning…dead on…A tough, gritty, often unbearably tense story right out of today’s headlines…Explores an urban terrain little seen in fiction with insight and power.”
