This is the third of Rotenberg's novels, and the third that I've read and throughly enjoyed, mainly because they're all set in Toronto, along streets and in buildings and restaurants that I know. For example, one scene is the Esso station on O'Connor Drive, where we occasionally stop for gas before arriving at our destination. One of the defence lawyers meets her client in a restaurant on the Danforth.
Not only that, his novels - and they're crime novels - are fast-paced, characters are clearly drawn, and since the author is a lawyer, he's very familiar with the courts.
This story is about some shady characters who all converge on a Tim Horton's location in downtown Toronto, and a young boy who accidentally gets in the way of a bullet meant for someone else - all of this witnessed by an illegal immigrant who disappearsright after the shooting.
I read it in three days - Mike's been reading it for 6 months now!
