Review:
"[A] stirring police thriller."
--The New York Times Book Review "A TOUGH-GUY TALE THAT ALSO SUCCEEDS AS A TEAR-JERKER . . . Boston author Charles Kenney has joined the small fraternity of crime writers whose insights into the undersides of their cities are as profound as their command of character."
--The Boston Herald "A GIFTED NOVELIST . . . What drives this story is its accomplished portrait of a child struggling with the betrayal of parental suicide, and a most persuasive rendering of the power of faith."
--The New York Post From the Paperback edition.
