Jon works for the
Tattooed Man as a hit man. Because he's good at his job and does
whatever the Tattooed Man assigns, he lives well, but he's a loner.
When he meets up with Andy, an old school friend, that changes. Andy
is out of work, and he has a wife a baby.
Jon realizes that
his friend has something he doesn't, and he wants to help him. This is
the beginning of real changes in his life. When he does the bidding
of the Tattooed Man, he functions as a slave, but now he has a chance
to act on his own.
This is a very
psychological book. Jon is a complex character. Cross does a good job
of presenting Jon's background and development without overdoing the
backstory. Andy is also a well done character moving from being a
loser to losing himself.
If you enjoy
psychological novels, I recommend this book. It deals with an
interesting interpretation of what it means to be free or a slave.
I reviewed this book
for Net Galley.
