Pelecanos is a star. His novels of blacks and whites co-existing on
the streets of Washington DC over the past half-century defy
criticism. He's a top man at his craft, and this, his seventh book,
is no exception. It's the mid-eighties and Washington is being
ripped apart by the drug trade and it seems that only one man,
Marcus Clay, owner of a chain of black record shops, his emplyees
and two crooked cops are prepared to make a stand. Tough,
streetwise, hip, cool. What more do you need to know? (Kirkus UK)
It's 1986 and Washington DC is being torn apart by the cocaine
trade. The Mayor is too busy chasing coke and hookers to care, and
the police force is manned by corrupt rednecks like Richard 'King'
Tutt. Down in the neighborhoods, black children are shooting each
other over nickel bags and the outside world just doesn't care. The
only man prepared to do anything about it is Marcus Clay whose new
record store - Real Right Records - is in the heart of the ghetto.
Business is okay. What isn't okay is that his wife has thrown him
out and his best friend, Dimitri Karras, is hitting the
recreational substances way too hard.
