Danny and Evan were born on the mean streets of Chicago and did a little bit of bad-boy stuff knocking over liquor stores. It was strictly small-time. Then Evan made a mistake and he ended up in jail.

Danny went straight after that. He got himself a girl and got a job with prospects. Time passed. Then Evan got out. And Evan's not someone to let bygones be bygones. He thinks Danny owes him. And, unfortunately, Evan knows a secret or two that will tear Danny's new life apart . . .

Tremendous . . . grips like red-hot pincers (Independent on Sunday)

A hard-charging thriller that delivers a kick and leaves no loose ends (The New York Times)

Fast pace, hard action . . . an exciting read (Literary Review)
From the Back Cover:
Marcus Sakey's wildly praised debut thriller is an explosive, thrill-a-minute read...

"Delivers a kick and leaves no loose ends."-- The New York Times
On the South Side of Chicago, you're only as strong as your reputation. Danny Carter and his best friend Evan earned theirs knocking over pawnshops and liquor stores, living from score to score, never thinking of tomorrow...until, in the roar of a gun blast, everything changed.
"ONE OF THIS YEAR'S BEST...LITERATE, COMPLEX, AND WONDERFULLY SUSPENSEFUL." --SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNEYears later, Danny has built a new life: a legitimate career, a long-term girlfriend, and a clean conscience. He's just like anyone else. Normal. Successful. Happy. Until then he spots his old partner staring him down in a smoky barroom mirror...

"Even better than they say." --Chicago Tribune
Now, with all he loves on the line and nowhere to turn, Danny realizes his new life hinges on a terrible choice: How far will he go to protect his future from his past?
