The drug life in and around Wash. D.C.. A very well written story of the lives of dealers and the men who work against them. It catches reality.

Pelecanos writes convincingly and very well about a black detective in DC (at least to a white guy).

George Pelecanos keeps the reader entertained at all times. His stories are not always without tragedy, as Soul Circus demonstrates. I look forward to reading his next one.

I really enjoyed this Pelecanos crime action novel set in Washington D.C. It's the first I have read with Derek Strange, PI, as the main character. This may be where Nick Stefanos first gets mentioned.
There is a fair amount of D.C. street language and drug dealing behavior, sometimes very graphic. Pelecanos does not pull punches. But you do get to know a side of D.C. that you won't see in the AAA Guide. And you might know what sections to avoid getting lost in when visiting.
