Venturing into crime-thriller territory acquainted to followers of Harlan Coben, Bohjalian’s page-turner about a mean Joe caught up in sordid occasions past his management resonates with chilling plausibility.” — Booklist “Bohjalian catches a key social second with a guide that is contemporary and totally different.” — Library Journal, “One among Bohjalian’s most compelling books to date, combining an explosive premise, a well timed social matter, and fast-paced storytelling with a function.” — The Miami Herald “A gripping story about suburban American lives ripped aside. . . .
