"Private-eye tropes like decadent upper-crust parties and corrupt
cops abound, while sudden action scenes cut through Ethan's hazy,
guilt-ridden flashback narration, such as when he smashed a drug
pusher's face with a skateboard. It all feels less like a
self-contained story than a prelude for a dark implosion heading
Ethan's way. Series fans will ride along in anticipation."
-Publishers Weekly
"Phillips imbues the sun-drenched splendor of Southern California
with a nostalgic mournfulness perfectly keyed to Brubaker's script.
Focusing on the fragile bond between Ethan and Anna exposes new
depths in both of the characters, while building to a wrenchingly
emotional climax." -Library Journal (starred review)
