À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Marcus Sakey's wildly praised debut thriller is an explosive, thrill-a-minute read

"Delivers a kick and leaves no loose ends."-- The New York Times
On the South Side of Chicago, you're only as strong as your reputation. Danny Carter and his best friend Evan earned theirs knocking over pawnshops and liquor stores, living from score to score, never thinking of tomorrow until, in the roar of a gun blast, everything changed.

"ONE OF THIS YEAR'S BEST...LITERATE, COMPLEX, AND

WONDERFULLY SUSPENSEFUL." --SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

Years later, Danny has built a new life: a legitimate career, a long-term girlfriend, and a clean conscience. He's just like anyone else. Normal. Successful. Happy. Until then he spots his old partner staring him down in a smoky barroom mirror...

"Even better than they say." --Chicago Tribune
Now, with all he loves on the line and nowhere to turn, Danny realizes his new life hinges on a terrible choice: How far will he go to protect his future from his past?
