The Lost Ones by Ace Atkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This novel is quite an improvement on its predecessor, largely because in place of the former's clumsy consequenceless action sequences, this novel features some genuine character development on the part of many of the characters from the first book, and some new ones.
Even the bad guys (well, some of them) get a more nuanced perspective. The ending is a bittersweet affair, that leaves everyone significantly changed.
If the next one shows the same degree of improvement, this is going to be a series to be reckoned with.
