I have collected the Art Jefferson books over a long period of time (mostly from the free list) so I started to read them from book 1.  This book was not compact enough -- too many characters the the author had to give too much background on which led to too much detail so we could care about or understand each character -- but all those characters were simply not hooked together well enough.  Ultimately I didn't care enough about any of the characters.  There was plenty of violence and most was senseless as it seems to be in real life.  The ending brought the story up a level and the epilogue helped to earn the book the 3 stars, because a "good" ending (good not happy) makes a book better.
