The second in the series featuring detectives Byrne and Balzano, this is a tremendously compelling thriller, with a surprisingly humane center. The plot's fascination with movies and movie violence gives the plot an entertaining twist, and contrasts effectively with the gritty horrors the two detectives face. Even if things unravel a bit near the contrived climax, this is an enjoyable, haunting, and unputdownable read and a good place to start for newcomers to the series.
