Publisher Review

Masterly literary noir. This mature, nuanced work is a must for George Pelecanos fans * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * Boyle's latest novel is a kaleidoscopic vision of life in South Brooklyn, shifting between timelines and perspectives to bring together a swirling, fate-laced story of modern New York... one of his best stories to date * CrimeReads (Most Anticipated Books, Winter 2021) * Boyle emerges not just as a consummate crime writer but as a poet of the underclass, unwaveringly portraying lives gone wrong but still finding a little moonlight "spilling its light on the cracks in the sidewalks and all the cracked hearts" * Booklist (starred review) * In an interview last year, Boyle said he tries to write about how bad people can do good things and good people can do bad things. In Shoot the Moonlight Out, Boyle achieves his aim marvelously * Washington Post * William Boyle's stark and turbulent crime thriller boasts an endlessly fascinating and empathetic cast of characters. Hailing from Brooklyn himself, Boyle imbues the setting with an air of authenticity and realism as his characters leap from the page... Shoot the Moonlight Out subtly builds towards a collision of lives intertwined and fates inextricably linked * Bookpage (starred review) *
