Cosby is a master of the art of writing complicated, flawed characters that still have you rooting for them as they’re breaking someone else’s jaw. If you like gritty crime novels that are full of despicable characters and people who will do whatever it takes to rid the world of that evil - even if it means walking a fine line between vengeance and justice - this is a must read.
And it was his first novel. So far, they’re all fucking glorious.
