Summary: A dull and pedantic plot
Comment: Terry Hughes, working under the orders of the Russian Mafia is assigned to killing fellow gangsters Martin Quinn and Martin's best friend Felix. Unfortunately for Terry things go horribly wrong and it is Martin alone who is left alive after the exchange of gunfire. Wounded and losing consciousness, Martin is arrested and charged with the deaths of his fellow gangsters. Given that he was the target, he decides to become a government witness knowing he is putting not only himself in danger but also the woman he loves. Through flashbacks we learn of the past life and relationships of Martin Quinn.
Anthony Lee has written a mainstream novel under the guise of crime fiction. The plot really concerns the character of Martin Quinn. This is the focus- not the weak story line. As such the characters are superbly rendered and the writing style- though the plot is dull and pedantic- is of top quality. The reader cannot help but feel that he or she is reading a very well written novel. Continuing to turn the pages, however becomes more and more difficult.

Summary: Martin Quinn
Comment: It is a great book! Not your typical gangster suspense story. The book comes alive with the setting in NYC and characters. I had an image for each character in my mind. I could not put it down, what a great ending!

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent.
Comment: The story is tough and gritty, the protagonist is molded on the typical tough guy but you soon learn he is completely unique. The writing style and story will keep you intrigued. It is a timeless story that takes place in Brooklyn and Manhattan, an intense love story playing out in the midst of Little Odessa. Original and smart.
