praise
"David Lynn is a technician of the first order. The skills he has already honed as a short fiction writer have been transformed into the writing of a novel of confrontation, style and grit. Lynn opens the dark spaces and skirts their edges with a piercing gaze. He fuses character and scene through an unintrusive language of clarity and precision. Constantly testing the boundaries of self and society, he questions the spiritual values we so often take for granted when engaging with fiction." -- John Kinsella
