Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Dolan gets everything right in his debut, a suspense 
novel that breathes new life into familiar themes. The enigmatic David 
Loogan, who's recently moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., has stumbled into 
an editing job for Gray Streets, a mystery magazine, after anonymously 
submitting a short story. One night, Loogan's boss, Tom Kristoll, asks 
him for help in disposing of a corpse. Loogan goes to Kristoll's house 
and does so, despite his suspicions that Kristoll's account of how the 
man ended up dead is incomplete at best. When Kristoll later dies in 
a fall from his office window, the police mark Loogan, who's been having 
an affair with Kristoll's wife, as a person of interest. Pitch-perfect 
prose and sophisticated characterizations drive the noirish plot, which 
offers plenty of unexpected twists. Fans of Peter Abrahams and Scott 
Turow will find a lot to like. While the solution may strike some as 
a tad improbable, the talent Dolan displays suggests he has a bright 
future. 

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Take a ride on the mean streets of . . . Ann Arbor? 
This tasty tale employs the somewhat common trope of crime among crime 
writers to decidedly uncommon effect. David Loogan, a man with a mysterious 
past, tries his hand at writing a short story for Gray Streets, a literary 
crime-fiction journal. His inability to stop tinkering with it lands 
him an editing job, leading to friendship with the popular editor Tom 
Kristoll and his wife, Laura. But then Loogan sleeps with Laura, Tom 
is defenstrated, and Loogan is on a hunt for the killer, despite constant 
reminders that “this isn’t a story from Gray Streets.” Oh, but it is. 
As more people die, every character, every motive—and every conceivable 
combination of characters and motives—must be considered, and Loogan’s 
own actions put him at odds with an equally determined detective, Elizabeth 
Waishkey. This murderer’s row of writers, editors, and interns would 
kill for good editing—or maybe because of it. Dolan’s neatly symmetrical 
plot is tight, his dialogue is crisp, and his humor wry. (Rarely have 
suspects been so archly articulate.) A twisty whodunit with a thriller’s 
pace.
