This is, ultimately, a story about familial dynamics, racism, deception, self discovery, determination, strength, loss, and love.

The prose is clear, precise, and remarkably descriptive. His thing is that life is a crime, one naturally for which the punishment is his namesake. Along the way Mateo had to sa
