The Mercy of the Night

pI read David Corbett novels twice, once for the gritty, deft plotting, then for the beauty of his prose. Creating painstakingly real characters and engrossing dialogue, Corbett is the best of Quentin Tarantino and Elmore Leonard. Nobody writes crime fiction better, and iThe Mercy of the Night/i may be his best yet. In a word, brilliant Robert Dugoni, bestselling author of iMy Sisters Grave/i/p pCorbett handles his story line and subplots adroitly, in economical but polished prose, but his real strength is in character development Tierney and company are so real they seem to step off the pages. Superlative hard-boiled crime fiction
