From the Publisher:
"Stansberry does it with originality, through the freshness of his imagery and the lyricism of his lament for times that change, neighborhoods that grow old, and people who can never find their way home." --The New York Times Book Review
About the Author:
"Now Stansberry has done it again with this gut-wrenching tale of doomed lovers in San Francisco's North Beach.... Stansberry understands the way neighborhoods and families can imprison as they nurture, and he tells Nick's story in the hard-edged prose it demands. Straight noir, no chaser." --Booklist
"A murky, moody slice of noir." --Kirkus Reviews
"Stansberry enlivens things with an intriguing picture of Italian fascist activity in San Francisco during World War II. He blends his ingredients with panache." --Publishers Weekly
Domenic Stansberry is the author of a book of short stories and two previous novels, one of which, The Spoiler, was nominated for an Edgar Award. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
