This book hits on all cylinders. It has a protagonist you can unreservedly root for, it's an easy read and there's just enough action. I also appreciated the back story which helped me understand Burnside's motivation. I also appreciate that all the loose ends were carefully tied up at the conclusion of the story. I get annoyed when a book ends too abruptly. The author also makes it easy to compare his work to another writer because he references Raymond Chandler a couple of times. That might seem a bit presumptuous except for the fact that I enjoyed this work as much as any of Mr. Chandler's efforts. A tour de force first novel. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
