One of the author's earlier works. Very well written. He has a gift for description, and a subtle way of introducing a sense of foreboding into the story as it goes along. The climax is eye-popping, but not for the faint of heart. Definitely not a book I will forget soon.

If there was a way to do it, I'd give it three and a half stars - it's a cut above average, but not quite up to the standard I set for books I keep because I might want to re-read them someday.
