Review
"Like Jeff Lindsay's Dexter, Columbus is a thoroughly likable villain. He operates on the wrong side of the law, with his own moral code and his own unique sense of compassion. It's impossible not to like the guy, even though he explicitly and repeatedly tells us not to, just as it's impossible not to like the novel itself." David Pitt
