"'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth' is in fact much closer to human nature than we dare to publicly admit, " Herzl taught us...Dead. Gone. We never want to see the murderers and rapists back on the streets again.' With this in mind, if you're looking for a nice cozy read or likeable characters, you won't find either in this book. As he did with his earlier novel 'The Dinner', Koch once again takes a situation and slowly unravels the mystery behind it. The reader knows that an unsavoury event has befallen one of the characters and Koch takes us back to the beginning from where we travel to the present to gleam how and why the characters got to the present state of affairs. Koch once again brings us brutal, honest depictions of people acting out their worst impulses.
