Eric Cash is 35 years old, still living on the Lower East Side in New York City, still working in a restaurant, and he still hasn't made it big as a screenwriter. Not at all what he expected to be doing at this age. Then an evening out with a new young co-worker, Ike Marcus, turns to tragedy as Ike is gunned down in front of him. Author Richard Price explores the repercussions of this seemingly random shooting. The reader gets to know Detective Matty Clark; his partner, Yolanda; Ike's grief-stricken father Billy; the teenage shooter, Tristan; and more. The ending is not a shock, but the trip there is a fascinating one. A gritty read from one of the masters of urban crime fiction.
