(More customer reviews)Long repressed emotions erupt when Cleveland PI Lincoln Perry learns that former friend Ed Gradduk has been accused of arson and murder. Feeling pangs of regret from the results of a well meant past gesture gone bad, the ex-cop seeks his childhood pal out to offer his assistance. He eventually locates Ed, only to see him run down by a police car moments later. Motivated primarily by guilt and shame, Perry strives to uncover the truth behind the accusations, hoping to clear his friend's name. Investigating, he starts poking around at the edges of a conspiracy that includes members of a local police precinct; unfortunately for him, the conspirators are willing to go to any length, including murder, to protect their secrets.
A worthy follow-up to his highly praised debut, 2004's Tonight I Said Goodbye, Sorrow's Anthem is notable not only for its swift pacing, well drawn cast, and harrowing, hard boiled action, but also for the fact that its author is all of twenty two years old. Displaying an outsize talent that belies his youth, Koryta cements his reputation as one of the "top young mystery writers in America today," delivering a work that takes a hard look at the world of crime, and on the impact of the choices people in that world, both criminals and law enforcement officials, make everyday, choices that often mean the difference between life and death, and between a life lived inside or outside the blurry confines of the law.
