This is a typical morality play, proving that a guilty conscience is a very powerful tool. It could have used better character development, and bits of the story are a tad far-fetched.

What would you be willing to do and do you think you could live with the consequences? Have you really even thought of all of them? What kind of threat (if any) to friends or family would make you consider murder? Not only that but accepting the consequences of that action should you get caught? I had a few issues with the book, mostly I think the author was putting himself too much in place of the main character. Overall I think it was well written and while enjoyed isn't the right word for the subject matter I think it was worth the time spent. (  )1 readafew | Dec 18, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
Roddy Dolan, a successful suburban surgeon, long ago left behind his past--one that nearly landed him in jail at 17. When he's approached by an old friend about becoming a silent partner in a Manhattan steakhouse, he's understandably wary. So he consults with his lifelong blood brother, Danny Burns. Danny's convinced this "vanity project" is the perfect trophy to illustrate how far they've travelled. Certain he's buried his checkered past, Roddy joins in this venture with serious reservations. Danny is quickly sucked into the high-energy glitz of the restaurant, but Roddy is suspicious. Amidst the glitter of New York's nightlife, amongst Mafia honchos and Russian thugs, events spin out of control and the lives Roddy and Danny knew are over. Hidden shady dealings drag them and their families into life-threatening terrain. Struggling with a monster he thought he'd buried, Roddy must make momentous choices, and none are good. But he has a daring plan . . .
