A tightly paranoiac crime novel. Complicated almost to the point of overcomplication, but well-written with a character at the center of it who's interesting to spend time with. A weirdly romantic story at its heart, which isn't wildly atypical for Vachss. What violence there is is mostly toward the end, but it's not a messing-around sort of violence. Gritty with a heart of gold, I guess.
