(*Starred Review*) Mitchell is finally free after a stint inprison for assault. A crony offers him a job as a loan-shark enforcer,and though Mitchell isn't crazy about the idea, he doesn't haveany better offers. He's perfect for the job--mean and merciless. Buthe's also got another, softer side: he's an avid reader of crimenovels, he's a loyal friend, and he'd even like to get married one dayif he can find the right woman. He figures his luck might have changedwhen he lands a legitimate job as a handyman for a rich actress who'seager to reward him with cash, cars, and sex. Then he meetsAisling--smart, beautiful, and, best of all, as crazy about Mitchellas he is about her. But Mitchell can never truly escape his violentpast or the dangerous world of loan sharks, druggies, and other bottomfeeders. When an arrogant error in judgment threatens everythingthat's dear to Mitchell, he plots his own ghastly form of revenge onthose who've stolen his life. Bruen combines staccato prose andhard-edged dialogue with gritty realism and a terrifying look atLondon's dark underbelly. This one packs one hell of a powerfulpunch. Emily Melton
