Two families. Two faces of America. One violent crime that will bitterly divide them - and yet bind them together forever.

`A magnificent story of two broken families' Independent. `Page-turning, gripping, full of unexpected twists' Observer. `From its dramatic opening, with the killing of an abortionist, the book rockets forwards ... Ingenious, agile, dazzling' Literary Review. `Morally meaty and always readable' Sunday Times. `A masterpiece' Washington Post.
