The stunning crime thriller from one of the writers of THE WIRE.
Washington, D.C., 1972. Derek Strange has left the police
department and set up shop as a private investigator. His former
partner, Frank 'Hound Dog' Vaughn, is still on the force. When a
young woman comes to Strange asking for his help recovering a cheap
ring she claims has sentimental value, the case leads him onto
Vaughn's turf, where a local drug addict's been murdered, shot
point-blank in his apartment. Soon both men are on the trail of a
ruthless killer: Red Fury, so called for his looks and the car his
girlfriend drives, but a name that fits his personality all too
well. Red Fury doesn't have a retirement plan, as Vaughn points out
- he doesn't care who he has to cross, or kill, to get what he
wants. As the violence escalates and the stakes get higher, Strange
and Vaughn know the only way to catch their man is to do it their
own way. Rich with details of place and time - the cars, the music,
the clothes - and fuelled by non-stop action, this is Pelecanos
writing in the hard-boiled noir style that won him his earliest
fans and placed him firmly in the ranks of the top crime writers in
America.
