[Evan]

Very good, engaging crime novel about a detective spending too much time on the job and not enough time elsewhere. Mullen's got a gritty style that doesn't hold back on some edgy details, and the story moves pretty quickly. Some characters were more believable than others, but if one can stick it out, it's a good read.
