The Pequod Review:

Less a mystery than an action thriller, The Butcher’s Boy is the story of a professional hitman for the mob who finds himself targeted by both the Justice Department and the Mafia itself (which wants to destroy any remaining evidence of their hired killings). Perry writes gripping action scenes, but the book’s dual narratives don't really mesh together.
