I had read Rogue Island, DeSilva's first (and award-winning) Mulligan novel and had been anxiously awaiting Cliff Walk. It was certainly worth the wait. Liam Mulligan is a fascinating character--a long-time journalist in a fast-fading newspaper business who can't stop digging into a complex story. And the story he's digging into is full of low-life characters that may or may not be connected to the very worst kind of pornography and are certainly murderers. A page-turner of the first degree, I highly recommend this second Mulligan novel and again, anxiously await the next.
