"Few novelists have chronicled urban crime as convincingly as
George Pelecanos."--Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg, Wall Street
Journal
"George Pelecanos does not write for those seeking a stock crime
novel, who like their books conventional, their plots pat and their
endings neatly tied up. . . . Pelecanos writes a different kind of
book: gritty, disturbing, and unpredictable . . . powerful and
compelling."--Miles Corwin, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Mr. Pelecanos. . . is part of a fraternity of writers, including
Dennis Lehane and Richard Price, who push the boundaries of crime
writing into literary territory, exploring character more deeply
than many crime novelists dare, introducing challenging social
themes and bucking expectations that everything will come out all
right in the end."--Motoko Rich, New York Times
"One of the country's finest writers, no matter the
genre."--Chicago Sun-Times
"Pelecanos joins company with James Ellroy, Andrew Vachss and Jack
O' Connell in extending the noirest tones of crime fiction and
unleashes a lacerating view of urban angst and
degradation."--Publishers Weekly
