I’ll try not to write a confusing review about a confusing book. Matt Hunter, the main character, and the other assorted characters are each introduced in a separate chapter. Then the chapters start bouncing back and forth with one character’s activities, then another’s, and so on.

In his college days, Matt was sent to prison for manslaughter after he broke up a fight and killed a guy. Nine years later, he’s happily married to Olivia and they’re expecting their first child. Then, thanks to modern technology, he receives provocative pictures of her on his camera phone. Loren Muse, an investigator in the DA’s office, a murdered nun with breast implants, and assorted references to Nevada round out the various plots that the reader hopes will eventually come together.

The author artfully ties hundreds of threads together, throws in a few surprises near the end, and brings this well-crafted story to an end. His subtle sense of humor here and there helped the story move right along, too.
