"Pelecanos is not afraid of larger social issues, such as the viciousness of racism and its brutal effect. Derek Strange confronts all these things in his passage through those rough-and-tumble parts of the city that Pelecanos invokes with such spirit and such keen attention to detail, imbuing them all with an atmosphere of danger both moral and physical. That's at the heart of why this book is so compelling and such a pleasure to read.George P. Pelecanos is the author of 'Hell to Pay' with ISBN 9780786256150 and ISBN 078625615X.
