The best gangster novel I’ve ever read. The writing is first class, and the action is nonstop.

Juxtaposes shootouts, narrow escapes, vengeance, and justice, against family bonds, loyalty, love, motherhood, and memory, capped off with an ending you won’t see coming.

A Great Review From Across the Pond
“A thriller has to be fast-paced and tense, but to stand out there has to be more to hold your interest. Koryta delivers it in spades. It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into this book – the claustrophobic setting, a strong likeable protagonist whom you want to succeed, and a solid mystery that keeps you guessing right up to the end.”
