A twisty-turny, action-packed mafia adventure! Definitely not my typical read, but I’m glad I picked it up. Nicky Pins (one of my favorite character names of all time) is a great protagonist, and all of the other characters are well fleshed-out while still maintaining the action. A fun read!

This was my first Chuck Hogan book. I enjoyed it intertwines history and fiction pleasantly and there's not a disconnect. I don't usually like crime novels but to me this didn't read like the typical one. I was engaged and enjoyed the writing style. Nicky Pins is a character you really learn to love a criminal that you hope can turn things around.
