Review:
The story moves at a careening pace... Of a piece with character studies such as E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime and John Sayles' Eight Men Out, Mamet's book does Chicago -- and organized crime -- proud. An evocative, impressive return that Mamet fans will welcome. --(Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
Acclaimed playwright (Glengarry Glen Ross) and screenwriter (The Untouchables) Mamet unpacks his literary arsenal in his first novel in two decades...Mamet offers a master class on dialogue...For readers of Elmore Leonard and Dennis Lehane. --(Booklist)
