"In prose entirely his own (and don't I wish I could steal it and run off with it!), Abraham Rodriguez gives us a crime story, a love story, and one of the best portraits of the creative process I've ever seen. Every page is a joy and every character--including the South Bronx itself--is alive and surprising. This book is something special." --S.J. Rozan, Edgar Award-winning author of In This Rain
