In the poor neighbourhood where he grew up, you were only as strong as the reputation you built. Danny and his best friend Evan built theirs turning over pawnshops and liquor stores. But one night Evan lost control. A man was shot. And everything changed. While Evan was caught and gaoled, Danny slipped into the night, praying that his best friend wouldn't use his name to shorten his sentence. The knock on the door never came. Danny turned things around and built a life to be proud of. He's put the past behind him. Then he spots a barely recognizable Evan in the back corner of a smoky bar - muscled, covered in tattoos, and just out of State Pen. The way he sees it, Danny owes him. But just how far will Danny go to protect his future?

This was really disappointing!!!

I’m giving this 3 stars, though I should give it 2, just because it’s Sakey’s debut. Otherwise this is worth no more than 2, at best.
The story is good, but it’s so predictable I can’t believe what the-hell is all the noise about The Blade Itself. Comparisons to the likes of Connelly and specially Lehane, perhaps my favourite writer, are out of place. No way Sakey is in the league of those guys.
The plot is full of clichés and I was always a few steps before the writer. I want to be behind. Always waiting for the twists and turn... you’ll find nothing of that in this. There’s no mystery in here... just a story you sure have read or hear plenty of times before.

Skip this one!
