Give the Boys a Great Big Hand

The characters often face tough choices that blur the lines of right and wrong. I wonder what inspired the author to explore these shades of gray.

The story dragged a bit during the investigation phase, but it picked up again towards the end. Was that intentional to build tension or just a natural rhythm?

The gritty, urban atmosphere feels so authentic. I’m curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it from imagination.
