Why this must be read: Because it's an encapsulated history of punk music in Chicago.sisterofdream is an extremely talented writer who brings Ray and Fraser to life with all of their little quirks and idiosyncrasies. She gives us a Ray who is a perfectly capable cop without Fraser, who still has skills for undercover work, who is competent.
At the same time, she shows us an insecure and jealous Fraser, one who doesn't know how to approach Ray, who doesn't know how to deal with his feelings. Watching these two fight for what they want, trying to reach an unspoken accommodation feels very real and true to the characters.
In addition,sisterofdream has created a cast of wonderful characters that add life and color to the story. Add in a detailed landscape of Chicago clubs and you've got an throughly enjoyable story.
"Okay, Neil, he's here," somebody said. Ray was pretty sure it was Kyle, one of Neil's friends. He used a lot of hand motions that Ray figured meant "be quiet" and "pay attention to me."
"Who?" Asked Ray.
"Apparently there's a guy who's been going around to a few of the clubs asking questions about," and Neil turned back to the guy who might be Kyle to get clarification, "what, drugs?"
"The phrase is 'evidence of any illegal activity,'" answered Kyle. "Anyway, I've seen him three times, and Lenny's seen him once and we thought he was a cop at first, except he's like freakishly polite and trusting, so now we just think he's insane. Except for Neil, who thinks he's imaginary."
"Fuck." Well, at least this explained where Fraser had been. Everyone at the table looked at him curiously and he smiled what was obviously a fake smile and said, "I'll be right back."
