Not a perfect book but very close. Exciting, well written, with deep insight into the main character’s mindset.

S.A. Cosby can take tropes of thrillers and make them deeper, darker, and more compelling. A tangled web of morality, Christianity, identity, secrets, and the many forms of violence in a society. This was the first thriller to make me cry.
