![]() He manages to get a job as a dishwasher at a neighborhood pizza joint and begins to make a quiet, steady life for himself on the outside. ![]() Michael goes home to his grandmother's, where one of his first acts is to find a bookcase on the street, clean it up and place it in his sparsely furnished room so he can begin to fill it with Anna's recommendations. ![]() His appeal succeeds, and when he parts from Anna they exchange contact information. One of those convicts is Michael Hudson, a young man whose criminal past got him to jail. Anna Kaplan Byrne runs the book-group program at district jail, where she genuinely loves her work and chooses titles with care both for the group meetings, and for individual convicts who express interest in themes and authors they discuss. Phil's path will cross with those of two others. ![]() Much of this involves a private eye named Phil Ornazian who believes he's a modern-day Robin Hood, but who operates more like a rogue for the ages. This book still contains plenty of action, all of it set in the district and some of it hardboiled indeed - plastic zip-tie cuffs, sawed-off shotguns and getaway cars abound.
