|summary=At over 500 pages this book covers a lot of ground. I immediately took to Weaver's style. Plain, not showy or over-flowery, just sensible words telling a story. Conversational almost, as if he were telling it over the breakfast table, so that even as early as page one, I knew that I was in for a decent read. PI David Raker has a troubled past and a rather sad personal life so he puts 110% into his work - and then some, in order to try and dull his own pain. But does this strategy work? He's not unattractive to women but you can just tell he's not all that interested. A microwaved dinner for one is the order of the day and anyway, the unsocial hours that his job warrant don't make for an active social life. I liked him straight away and no, I didn't feel the need to feel sorry for him.
