Description

A brilliant legal thriller by bestselling novelist and homicide district attorney, Rob Reuland. There was a time when Assistant District Attorney Andrew Giobberti pursued his job with vigour and a certain glee - but now he mostly thinks about his next drink and the girl he can persuade to share it with him. Then a case much like others lands on his desk- young girl, dead from a gunshot wound, crackhead mother, very guilty-looking boyfriend. Something in this ordinary if tawdry case uncovers a vast well of grief and rage in him, and in his urge to avenge a pointless death he sets himself on a dangerous path to either destruction or redemption.

Reviews

A taut and tense thriller... A new and very vibrant voice... Will keep you on the edge of your seat * Irish News *
A haunting crime story in a rueful, savvy voice * New York Times *
Stylish. Sleek. Scary. Hollowpoint captures you on the first page and just hangs on - and in the end it transforms into something deeper than you ever imagined -- Kathy Reichs, author of Dj Dead
An impressive debut from a real-life homicide district attorney: a blackly comic tale of a lawyer on a redemptive mission in the bleak Brooklyn projects. Reuland knows his territory all too well and guides us through the cynical courtrooms and mean streets with assurance, cruel wit and pathos * Guardian *
Reuland's irreverent take on antihero Gio is a refreshing dash of candor in the genre, granting credibility to a story whose racing pace has an addictive effect. * Publishers Weekly *
