On Brooklyn's treacherous streets, having a conscience can be a dangerous commodity...

From the Back Cover:
"Rob Reuland writes beautifully--about sadness and cities and injured dreams. First with Hollowpoint and now with Semiautomatic, he has renewed my faith in the health and future of the urban crime novel." -Dennis Lehane
"Semiautomatic is a novel-lover's treat. It is one of those very rare books that manages to be smart, compelling, witty and important all at once. Rob Reuland skips the by-the-numbers nonsense of the generic legal thrillers and instead offers a fully-detailed world of vivid characters and a trouble court system, and he reminds us why we find stories about the law so fascinating." -David Liss, author of The Coffee Trader and A Conspiracy of Paper
"Semiautomatic shines with fantastic imagery, sharp dialogue, and sparkling detail. An engrossing, morally complex winner from Robert Reuland, one of crime fiction's most gifted young writers." -George Pelecanos
