Author Pronzini has laid out an exacting plot in which each reaction to a previous action has a result which might have been foreseen, yet was not. Page after page, this solidly constructed novel builds to a surprising resolution which, in retrospect, may be seen as inevitable, yet quite unanticipated. The result is a wonderful multi-dimensioned novel. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
