This book was FUN. Like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes - on the edge of gang-life in LA. Admittedly, I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator (Sullivan Jones) was awesome. The dialogue was fantastic, and he really brought it to life. Nothing better than a talented writer teaming with a solid actor. I'm just bummed that there's only one other book in the series - for now! C'mon, Joe Ide!
