Starred review from July 9, 2007
Derringer Award–winner White’s engrossing, evocative debut novel will grab most readers from its opening sentences: “I’ve killed three men in my life. One the police know about, two that I’ve kept to myself.” New Jersey ex-cop Jackson Donne is about to use profits from his PI business to fund a bachelor’s degree when his closest friend, Korean War vet Gerry Figuroa, is killed in a hit-and-run. Reluctantly investigating the accident, Donne finds evidence that Figuroa may have been supplementing his actor’s income by manufacturing crystal meth, and soon suspicious ties appear to an apparently unrelated adultery and divorce case. White manages to make improbable plot twists seem plausible, and his choice to alternate Donne’s slightly unhinged first-person narration with the third-person perspective of New Brunswick Police Det. Bill Martin, Donne’s despicably corrupt former partner and nemesis, works surprisingly well. Fans of hard-hitting, uncompromising private investigators will hope that Donne ditches his college dreams and continues to pound the pavement.
