Lehane breathes pulsing life into his story through the small details of his stoop-shouldered characters' lives, investing their every mannerism with unspoken emotion and the weight of too many bad decisions, all of which makes Bob's transformation from quiet desperation to quiet determination a powerful kind of existential drama." -- Booklist (starred review) "The bard of blue-collar Boston crime returns with a sleight-of-hand novel tinged with sin and redemption." -- Kirkus Reviews
