Sideswipe

The book's hard-boiled tone really immerses the reader in its world. I'm curious whether this vibe was shaped by real-life experiences or a love for classic detective stories.

His choices often blurred the line between right and wrong, which made me wonder how much of that was intentional to reflect real-world moral complexity.

The story unfolds at just the right speed to build tension, but I wonder if that pacing was a deliberate choice or evolved during the writing process.
