Richard Price’s new book written under the transparent pseudonym of Harry Brandt has received a great deal of press in advance of its publication. The book received rave reviews from Michicko Kakutani in the Times who called it “riveting” and “a gripping police procedural and an affecting study in character and fate” and Joyce Carol Oats who says “Price has constructed a maze of a novel that alternates between scenes of intense introspection and scenes driven by dialogue.”
