Rag and Bone

"I really hope Clifford reconsiders making this the last in the series. Previously on the run when he was wanted for murder, protagonist Jay Porter has been cleared and returns to his hometown in New Hampshire out to avenge his addict brother’s death. The book is gritty and full of memorable, if not always likeable, characters. Clifford often gets compared to Dennis Lehane , for good reason. There’s a raw authenticity to his work, and Rag and Bone proves that even five books in a series novel can stand on its own. Clifford is a writer to watch."
