I bought this book because it was a 2009 Edgar Award finalist for the best paperback novel. Basically, young man with tragic childhood grows to be a decent man until a new tragedy strikes, at which point he seeks vengeance. It's not a bad book. It's fairly well written, the plot is fairly engaging, but, for me, Chase didn't ring true. Piccirilli doesn't do a good job making the reader believe in Chase's emotions--not when he's miserable, not when he's in anguish, and not when he's euphoric. Chase will reappear in a new book. I hope he's a better developed character by then.
