This book was hyped in a few places, and I must admit, it probably deserved the attention. The protagonist, Leonid McGill, is a private investigator trying to go straight after a lifetime of working the other side of the street. Unfortunately, his previous employers still demand his services, and getting out seems to be a fool's errand. After a few men that he helped find turn up dead, followed shortly by the go-between man that hired McGill, the police spotlight seems to be shining on him even brighter. Leonid's family is fractured as well - a cheating wife come home, and a son intent on following his father's old ways. The characters in this book are very good, and I hope to see them again very soon.
