Lehane has created an unforgettable work, with well-developed characters, intricate plotting and moral dilemmas throughout. It is dark yet thoughtful, brutal yet tender. Highly recommended but not for the faint of heart. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
