Michael creates a great group of characters in this romp through the seamier side of San Diego.  He keeps a nice pace, paints enough of the environment through his nice choice of words and keeps you wanting to come back and finish the story.  That is always a big indicator of a good book to me - if I am looking to find the next slice of time that I can go back to reading.  I don't write reviews that retell the story. Just to warn you there is some violence that goes with the plot and the characters.  Michael portrays it well, but never gory.The characters feel real.  He does such a good job of focusing on the character development that you don't need a lot of descriptive detail.  Your mind will capture them well.  Not that some detail isn't there, but he spices the book with just enough so you can create your own depth while reading.  Those people get twisted and turned a few times with some unexpected, but believable plot shifts.  The bottom line is that Michael shows a lot of respect for his readers and it is evident by how he brings you into the story.I also want to note that I read the Kindle version and was grateful that Michael made sure the formatting was done well.  None of the little annoyances I have run across with some other publishers were there. It let me focus on the fun story
