'Sean Rooney is as much of a mess it is possible for a person to be. That he is not a corpse is a miracle in itself! This is a powerful, well-written story that does not shy away from facing some difficult issues. First and foremost is Rooney and his problems. He is a total screw-up and drinks to excess. Keenan is a talented writer.' Crime Fiction Lover
