Why read it?
1 author picked Flood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The protagonist of this book has to be based on the writer’s worst nightmare, and the version of NYC he inhabits is one of the blackest in all of crime fiction.

From Lono's list on the cost of doing business in the crime world.
