Hollowpoint : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Hollow
Review: To simply call Rob Reuland's HOLLOWPOINT a crime novel would be unfair. Yes, there is a crime, but this outstanding first novel is more of a character driven morality play.
Andrew Giobberti is a young, Brooklyn ADA, who works one of the toughest neighborhoods in the borough, East New York. Mired in regret and self-pity after his young daughter's death and abandoned by his wife, Gio's life is a wasteland of drinking and meaningless sex, until he is assigned a case involving the death of a fourteen year old girl.
Both sarcastic wit and blunt reality drive HOLLOWPOINT in an examination of the fine lines which blur and separate the innocent from the guilty, and where even the morality of those who uphold the law is in question.
HOLLOWPOINT is one of the finest novels I've read this year, and the very talented Rob Reuland is definitely worth watching.
