Publisher's summary

Vinnie has always been different. But Vinnie is a survivor....

A childhood accident robbed Vinnie of his memories, making him sensitive and anxious, and his difference soon attracted bullies. If it wasn’t for his family and his brother, Frank, Vinnie wouldn’t have survived.

But as the boys grow up, and after the devastating loss of their parents, Vinnie finds himself increasingly involved in violent situations whenever he’s with Frank. Is this the type of man he’s become, or can the love of a remarkable woman teach him to embrace life?

When Vinnie is accused of a terrible crime and looks set for a long stretch behind bars, fragments of his memory start to return and he begins to unravel his past.

Who was his mother? What kind of a man is his brother, Frank? And why does death surround them?

Things are not as they seem, but Vinnie can survive anything....

Ross Greenwood is back with this shocking, thrilling glimpse into the criminal underworld.

Critic reviews

"Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist." (Richard Burke)

"Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour." (Kath Middleton)

Another good book by Roos Greenwood

Thought provoking, sad, at times funny! Realistic and unsettling. Ross Greenwood is an amazing writer. As good of a writer Ross Greenwood is, David Thorpe’s narrating does a wonderful job. When it comes to audio books, If the narrator isn’t as good as the author, it takes away from the story.

Sad

This was a very good book. I always hoped for a happy ending. I guess in a way we got one but definitely not one I was hoping for.

So many great things to say about this book....

Poignant, sad, laugh-out-loud funny, horrifying, witty, disturbing, sorrowful...just to name a few....Why hasn't Audible promoted this book? Everyone should be required to read it. It certainly opened my eyes and heart. The narration brought it home for me. I just couldn't stop listening because I was so invested in Vinnie. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever had social difficulties, been bullied, or just plain doesn't understand the human race...like me.

Great Book

I really enjoyed listening to this book very exciting. I was disappointed that Vinnie was charged and had to serve 9 years.

Greenwood is my favorite author

I sincerely hope he writes another book in this series. He understands what makes people do bad things,.but has compassion for them none the less.

Tough subject - well done.

Tough subject - well done. Couldn’t have predicted the outcome and the humanity of the story. Heart wrenching.
