When they were children, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus, and Dave Boyle were friends. But then a strange car drove up their street. One boy got in the car, two did not, and something terrible happened -- something that ended their friendship and changed the boys forever. Twenty-five years later, Sean is a homicide detective. Jimmy is an ex-con. And Dave is trying to hold his marriage together and keep his demons at bay -- demons that urge him to do horrific things.When Jimmy's daughter is murdered, Sean is assigned to the case. His investigation brings him into conflict with Jimmy, who finds his old criminal impulses tempt him to solve the crime with brutal justice. And then there is Dave, who came home the night Jimmy's daughter died covered in someone else's blood. While Sean attempts to use the law to return peace and order to the neighborhood, Jimmy finds his need for vengeance pushing him ever closer to a moral abyss from which he won't be able to return.

Great book. At first it was a bit confusing and hard to get into his writing style, but after a couple of chapters you really get into it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes thrillers.

I really liked this book. I can't imagine going through these types of events but I imagine my response wouldn't be that far different from the father in this story.The characters in the book are all pretty well developed and interesting. It's a bit gritty but if you don't mind that type of story ...
