This is not the type of book that I normally read. In my old age (I'm 70+), I prefer books that give me enjoyment without too much thought. Does that make me shallow? Perhaps... In any case, this was a crime novel, not an action/adventure novel. As such, it gripped me at a visceral level and was a bit disturbing. The protagonist of the book is a bad - not evil - man who wants to be good. Throughout the story he performs a number of evil acts with the presumption that they will result in an ultimate good. Without revealing any plot details, I guess I can say that this premise is ambiguous at best. I'm still thinking about this one...
