“Satrine Rainey walked to the Inemar Constabulary House carrying a lie.”Yep, from the first sentence, I was hooked.
“If you weren’t half crippled I’d knock you in your rutting head.”...and I’m pretty sure he’s completely serious.
“I assure you, I am at most a quarter crippled,” Minox said.

The Characters
Satrine couldn’t stop being angry. She had attempted to curb this by hitting random bystanders when the Riot Call was made, but it wasn’t helping.This one quote on page 176 reflects the entire book. The protagonist is angry (for a legitimate reason, of course) so why not hit everyone in her way? She is a policewoman, she has the right to beat people – so she does, with very little provocation. Maybe that’s how men feel, or at least some men? Maybe that’s how most policemen feel and act? I don’t know. But I should’ve known better than to read a book by a male writer. I never liked men writers in the past, with rare exceptions, and this book just confirmed my dislike.
