The novel caught my attention from its opening page. Beyond its vivid portrayal of the scenery, the lives of three war-weary friends are intertwined. Jay Jax, Mike Morris, and Tony Mattola struck me as intriguing individuals, each navigating their own path but united by a loyalty that transcends time and place. The story takes a fascinating turn when Jay witnesses what appears to be a suicide, but something doesn’t add up, and that’s where things get really good! The journey he undertakes, both literal and emotional, is full of tension, memories of the past, and unanswered questions. I would recommend this book without hesitation.
