Review: At the City’s Edge by Marcus Sakey

Today, in January Magazine’s crime fiction section, contributing editor David Thayer reviews At the City’s Edge by Marcus Sakey. Says Thayer:

Chicago is the City of the Big Shoulders, the City That Works, America’s Second City, and home to the Cubs, the Chisox and a raft of crime writers who grew up reading Mike Royko and Studs Terkel, and listening to broadcaster Harry Caray sing during the seventh-inning stretch. Chicago is a state of mind.

At the City’s Edge is Marcus Sakey’s second novel, after last year’s The Blade Itself. In it, he set out to re-create the magic of his debut work, but with mixed results.
