"A beautifully written tale of murder, family, love—and surprises! Standing ovation.”
—Hank Phillippi Ryan
Reviews for Doug Burgess:
Elegant prose, a veritable Chinese box of puzzles, and authentic, well-rounded characters make this a standout.
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Burgess handles the revelations with an effective mix of wry humor and tough-guy violence.
—Booklist
Readers…will find Burgess’s debut strongly evocative of a distinctive place, presented in a compelling first-person voice that manages to be beyond illusions but never cynical.
