Gaitano's skills as a writer are a level or two above most mystery authors. Great hard-boiled, fast-paced cop story. This author knows and writes about Chicago better than any other mystery/thriller writer.

Having just finished this book id say-dont bother.Pulp fiction at its dreary worst,definetly for those who enjoy gratuitous mindless trash.Characters so stereotyped or simply detestable,the whole thing leaves you cold.I read this as a 'rest' between books of quality but why do i bother with modern populist bilge.Try Umberto Eco if you want modern quality or even Patricia Cornwell:ill stick to my Dickens,Nabakov,Dostoevsky,Joyce thanks all the same-and to think that a awriter like this might make a living producing 'writing' like this.Wow.
