Masterly literary noir. This mature, nuanced work is a must for
George Pelecanos fans
*Publishers Weekly (starred review)*
New York is depicted so vividly you can sense the city, in this
case at night: 'Distant radios. A vibrating breeze. Cars honking.
The brakes of a bus whispering somewhere on the avenue. Kids
outside the deli on the corner, making a racket'
*Times*
Adroit literary noir, as a kaleidoscope of mostly shady characters
crash into each other's lives, forging a portrait of
turn-of-the-millenium South Brooklyn
*Independent*
Immersive and absorbing hard-boiled tragedy
*Quietus*
Boyle's latest novel is a kaleidoscopic vision of life in South
Brooklyn, shifting between timelines and perspectives to bring
together a swirling, fate-laced story of modern New York... one of
his best stories to date
*CrimeReads (Most Anticipated Books, Winter 2021)*
