Steven P. (ol-blue) - , reviewed on 1/8/2012 + 31 more book reviews

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.
