Synopsis
David Loogan is living in a small down with his detective girlfriend. He's settled into a quiet routine as editor of the crime magazine Gray Streets - until one day he finds a manuscript outside his door. It begins: 'I killed Henry Kormoran.' Anthony Lark has drawn up a list of names - Terry Dawtrey, Sutton Bell, Henry Kormoran. To his eyes, the names glow red on the page. They move. They breathe. The three men on the list have little in common except that seventeen years ago they were involved in a notorious robbery. And now Anthony Lark is hunting them down, and he won't stop until every one of them is dead.
Editorial Reviews
"A second mind-bending case for David Loogan that begins just as simply and ominously and takes the reader on just as wild a journey...Dolan mixes his pitches with an ace's judgment...The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction." - Kirkus
"A riveting crime novel . . . Relentless pacing, a wry sense of humor, and an engaging protagonist add up to another winner for Dolan." - Publishers Weekly
