"Reverberations from a crime committed in their youth follow three grown men with the tenacity and inevitability of Greek tragedy in Haywood's beautifully crafted novel of unintended consequences... Haywood reaches new heights as he peels back the layers of a well-planned robbery to reveal its devastating ripple effects."
Publisher's Weekly starred review
"Haywood melds an intricately plotted but highly suspenseful thriller to a moving story of belated coming-of-age... (He) exhibits a remarkable eye for detail, both in describing the landscape of poverty (“the bathroom had a toilet that only flushed when it was willing”) and in exposing the nuances of character. It’s been too long between books for a writer who has always belonged in the upper echelon of American crime fiction."
