Media Reviews
A masterpiece, complex and breathtaking . . . [Pete] Dexter portrays his characters with marvelous sharpness. Los Angeles Times A psychological spellbinder that will take your breath away and probably interfere with your sleep. The Washington Post Book World Dexter s brilliant understanding of the Deep South has allowed him to capture much of its essence its bitter class distinctions, its violence, its strangeness with a fidelity of detail and an ear for speech that I have rarely encountered since Flannery O Connor. William Styron Dexter s powerfully emotional novel doesn t have any brakes. Hang on, because you won t be able to stop until the finish. Chicago Tribune
