A mobster lies dying in a hospital bed and his only visitor is a Catholic priest to take his last confession. However this is no ordinary priest and he has his own story to tell. An enjoyable but very short read.

I love it because it just kept going and had lots of action and the ending was bittersweet.

I didn't love this as much as I loved Pipe Dream. Partly it was too descriptive of the chases.. maybe that is b'c I live in Philly and know the area.. but mostly b'c it was too much description and not enough chase.

But Solomon Jones does an excellent job of describing living in the parts of the city that are never talked about. The towers and crack houses that are only mentioned in passing on the news. I love that he doesn't shy away from telling the stories no one tells.

I have now read two short stories and one novel by Ethan Jones. He has kept me captivated at all times. He does not write contrite stories - they are thought provoking, entertaining, and just plain good plots. His characters are engaging and drag the reader onto the page. I am really looking forward to his next offering in the spring.
