"A fresh and fierce new voice to crime fiction. .. a stunning book that takes the reader on an intense and harrowing journey that is truly unforgettable. Consider me a big fan." — Don Winslow , New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel, The Force and City on Fire

Perfect. Important. A must-read.

I was super excited to read this book based on the intriguing cover (I felt it was giving Donald Glover type vibes), but then it sat on my shelf unread for a couple weeks because I peeked inside and I just wasn’t hooked the way I thought I’d be.

It’s a *good* book but that‘s about it… maybe I’ll revisit later on this year before it’s published?

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.

I asked for this book based on WInslow’s blurb but I don’t think it lived up to Wainslow’s prose. Mayfield can write but the book jumped around and was hard to follow. Wish author’s would write in a more linear fashion. Not a bad book but not a great one. Still will look for Mayfield’s next.
