Posing primarily as a crime thriller, the plot weaves in many layers of elements including political justice, ethics, and moral propriety. While Eagle seems just to be a brutal serial killer at the outset, his motives of avenging the death of serial killer victims creates an ammoral hero flavour very soon in the reader's mind. In the fray are several interesting characters, including the endearing detective Steve aka the "Old Man", barry, and Jim. I loved the surprise element with almost every change of scene. Brilliant narration and a gritty plot make this book very enjoyable. I am grateful to Teel Jr., and the publishers NarroWay Press, for gifting me with a copy of this book.
