Spero Lucas has a new line of work. Since he returned home
after serving in Iraq, he has been doing special
investigations for a defense attorney. He's good at it, and
he has carved out a niche: recovering stolen property, no
questions asked. His cut is forty percent.
A high-profile crime boss who has heard of Lucas's specialty
hires him to find out who has been stealing from his
operation. It's the biggest job Lucas has ever been offered,
and he quickly gets a sense of what's going on. But before
he can close in on what's been taken, he tangles with a
world of men whose amorality and violence leave him reeling.
Is any cut worth your family, your lover, your life?
Spero Lucas is George Pelecanos's greatest creation, a young
man making his place in the world one battle and one mission
at a time. The first in a new series of thrillers featuring
Spero Lucas, The Cut is the latest confirmation of
why George Pelecanos is "perhaps America's greatest living
crime writer." (Stephen King)
