Review Detail

Cassel Sharp is a con artist in a family of curse workers and mobsters. He's the odd man out. The only one who isn't a worker. But when a terrible crime committed three years ago starts to unravel, everyone around Cassel has a secret they'd kill to keep. Even Cassel.

I love this book SO MUCH. It's a refreshingly unique premise. The world building is superb (as we've come to expect from Ms. Black). The stakes are high. And Cassel is a flawed, smart, dangerous, GOOD guy and living in his skin for the duration of this story is an adventure I'd willingly repeat any time.
