Shoot the Moonlight Out by William Boyle
An explosive crime drama, Shoot the Moonlight Out evokes a mystical Brooklyn where the sidewalks are cracked, where Virgin Mary statues tilt in fenced front yards, and where smudges of moonlight reflect in puddles even on the blackest nights....
Masterly literary noirThis mature, nuanced work is a must for George Pelecanos fans * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
New York is depicted so vividly you can sense the city, in this case at night: 'Distant radios. A vibrating breeze. Cars honking. The brakes of a bus whispering somewhere on the avenue. Kids outside the deli on the corner, making a racket' * Times *
Adroit literary noir, as a kaleidoscope of mostly shady characters crash into each other's lives, forging a portrait of turn-of-the-millenium South Brooklyn * Independent *
Immersive and absorbing hard-boiled tragedy -- Angus Batey * Quietus *
Boyle's latest novel is a kaleidoscopic vision of life in South Brooklyn, shifting between timelines and perspectives to bring together a swirling, fate-laced story of modern New York... one of his best stories to date * CrimeReads (Most Anticipated Books, Winter 2021) *
