That's what the criminal law is it's how the day tries to correct the night's mistakes Most of my cases people have done something they never would've dreamed of doing in broad daylightWhat does that make us I said The night's janitors We're absolutely that Myra said sipping her cosmo What else do we do but clean up after it That's why we'll never run A Cure PDF or out of work Not unless someone invents a cure for nightIn Brooklyn's criminal courts justice often depends on who has the better story to tellAfter a drug re I found this pretty slow and technical to begin with and the writing not overly inspired junkies are described repeatedly as waxy and sallow if I saw the word waxy I knew sallow couldn't be far behind but as I went on it became pretty clear that my resistance to reading was part of my hating on the unsympathetic main character When I realised that was the whole point and that the tricksy clever author had not only manipulated me to that position but then enjoyed a giggle by making this POV character hate on the aspects of himself that he saw in others I had to smile Well played Peacock I can confront me a bit of my own human frailty if I have to Oh and thanks for destroying the last vestiges of my faith in the law

Justin Peacock Ù A Cure for Night Reader

A Cure for NightIn a street shooting and the tabloids have sunk their teeth into the racially tinged trialIn this twisty and overwhelmingly authentic journey through the real Brooklyn Justin Peacock paints a portrait of the law as a form of combat where the best story win but who's telling the truth and who's lying are matters of interpretation And of life and deathThis compelling debut novel announces Justin Peacock as a writer who enters the territory of Richard Price and Scott Turow with a fresh new take on urban crime and punishme Law and Order complete with gangsta language The law is not black and white but shades of grey I finished this book thinking that the end all happened in a drug fuelled rush and that it's not who finds the truth necessarily but who can tell the best story and the most believable This may not have been the best story but I still wanted to find out what happeneda uick read that was a different story for me at least
