REVIEWS

"A sly depiction of the east end of Long Island and the Hamptons as they really are, combined with strong plotting, solid characters, and hard-boiled dialogue worthy of Elmore Leonard or John D. MacDonald will make this a beach read that you won't be able to put down even under threat of sunburn."—Booklist (starred review)

“Knopf writes with the grace of an angel and the intensity of a demon, and his stories are perfectly plotted.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

“Knopf has a touch I like—cool, careful, reflective—and a great ear for the comic eccentricities of the human voice."—New York Times Book Review

“It is difficult to imagine that this is only Knopf's second novel—it is pure gold. Everything about it (characters, plotting, setting) is brilliant.”—Library Journal
