"Private-eye tropes like decadent upper-crust partiesand corrupt cops abound, while sudden action scenes cut through Ethan's hazy,guilt-ridden flashback narration, such as when he smashed a drug pusher's facewith a skateboard. It all feels less like a self-contained story than a preludefor a dark implosion heading Ethan's way. Series fans will ride along inanticipation." -Publishers Weekly
