I'm hoping to have more to say on this a little closer to its September publication date, but Loehfelm is one of the most talented newcomers to crime and urban fiction, and he pretty much owns Staten Island noir after two books. Read and be riveted by this tale of two brothers bound to each other despite drugs, secret and the nasty stench of a stand-in for Willowbrook, where countless children suffered degrading abuse in appalling conditions.
