This book grabbed me from the prologue and never let go. While graphic at times, its full of twists, turns, and very well written characters, each with their own secrets and skeletons. You'll never think of New York or the people who live there the same way again.

This is about a college student Jeff Converse who was convicted of a brutal crime, He ends up living under the streets of Manhatten and is being hunt down and he has to use his wits and cunning to escape from a living hell.
A few four letter word..., but the story was thrilling, non stop action, and twisting plots. A excellent story, of course by the wonderful John Saul. I say this story is a 5!
Very good book
This book was a little gross but a great read. I could not put it down. I think it only took me about 2 days to read it because I just couldn't stop. very suspenseful.
