I confess, I'm a sucker for stories about bad people on a quest for redemption.If they are well written, as Mr. Smith's latest is.As always, the author does not turn away wear other writers might.  There is much to be disturbed by here, which makes the tender moments that much sweeter.  The relationship between Ishmael and a young girl is what makes this story special.  Ishmael is a reluctant hero, a killer by trade, who unexpectedly becomes a savior.  It's a tough journey, but extremely satisfying in the end, like most of Roger Smith's work.
