I always feel conflicted when the protagonist is a bad guy and I like him anyway. Patrick grew up hard and became the object of nightmares for some people, and the source of redemption for others. The story is set in a very colorful Dublin, Ireland. The plot is one of chrysalis, you will be surprised by what pops out.
Bruton describes some sides of Dublin that I didn’t see when
I visited that city. Patrick’s
relationship with Olivia is touching and certainly seems redeeming. The day-to-day of someone in his kind of
work is daunting. Each and every day
necessitates a moral dilemma.
Simone’s transfer of allegiance was a bit perplexing as it
seemed unrealistic.
Overall this book has complexity in abundance and a solid
plot.
I enjoyed it and I recommend it.
