Hoag departs from her usual female protagonist but stays firmly in the thriller camp with this tale of a young bicycle messenger who is implicated in a brutal murder and becomes the target both of the police and of the real killer. Good read, but Hoag loses points for not playing fair with the identity of the real villain, and it definitely feels like she just reached into the fishbowl along about page 450 and drew out one character's name at random.
