I have some real problems with this book. It ended okay, earned, perhaps, but to get there, some truly unearned and incoherent stuff has to happen. And jiminy can Lehane just once describe a thing and leave the similes alone? At least the simile should make sense.
The story, at the end, I enjoyed. But, the beats? The rhythm? Not so much.

You would never know that we are only 100 years from having had nearly an entire state taken over (3, actually) by the Ku Klux Klan. Worse, the way DC Stephenson is portrayed in this book sounds like some crazy "billionaire" lunatic I had the misfortune of watching on television tonight. Alas... they all get theirs in the end, right?
