“The crime author of the moment.”—The New York Times Book Review

In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and a stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his Buddha-like absolution. Years earlier Sonny’s father, a corrupt cop, took his own life rather than face exposure. Now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed. When Sonny discovers a shocking truth about his father’s suicide, he makes a brilliant escape and begins hunting down the people respons

“This is very a much a it’s not me, it’s you review. I think I wasn’t in the mood for a thriller, but I was too stubborn to stop reading and come back to this when I was in the mood, and probably would’ve enjoyed it a lot more. The multiple POVs made for such a fun narrative and made the twists and connections even more intriguing to put together (although sometimes the POV change was so sudden that I’d spend 2 pages being confused just to realize we switched POV a few pages back lol). The story was good, the characters were interesting and well written; I’d overall recommend this read but I also walked away feeling glad it was done”SuspensefulTwistyAbuseViolenceUnsatisfying plot
