    <body><![CDATA[Interesting first novel by a very talented writer. As with so many mysteries, the scenery tends to creak at times. This was jarringly evident in this book. Main charater Jimmy Boone holds up a bar and beats and humiliates the owner AFTER showing the guy behind the bar his ID. Then he doesn’t give ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/82179566">more...</a>]]></body>
