From the writer of the HBO series Treme and The Wire comes a brand
new collection of short stories What really goes on beneath the
surface of a city? There's the slum kid whose basketball skills
earn him loyal friends and bitter rivals. The police informant
grappling with his own sick conscience. A helpless young drug
dealer watches as violence seeps into the lives of those who he
cares about. And a writer on a TV cop show who finds drama and
reality are colliding much too close to home. Corruption, revenge,
honour, sacrifice and the fight to survive. Dark, fast-paced and
crackling with energy, these stories expose the violence and
darkness on the streets of any city. Gritty and hard-hitting, THE
MARTINI SHOT is Pelecanos at his very best.
