Description
After a wealthy Palm Beach man shoots a Haitian refugee who breaks into his home, the incident sets off a chain of events involving a prison escape, professional criminals, and a determined Detroit homicide detective. As the action moves from sunlit Florida to a cold, shadowy Detroit, uneasy alliances form among characters whose motives range from survival and justice to greed and violence. Blending hard-edged suspense with dark humor and psychological insight, the novel explores the blurred lines between respectable society and the criminal underworld. Its vivid, cinematic style and sharply drawn outsiders reflect a talent for making even dangerous characters compelling and human.
