Suspense
Lorenzo Brown loves his work. As an officer for the Humane
Society, it is his job to cruise the city streets, looking
for dogs that are being mistreated—underfed, unclean,
trained to kill. He takes pride in making their lives
better. And that pride helps Lorenzo resist the pull of
easier money doing the kind of work that got him a recent
prison bid. Rachel Lopez loves her work, too. By day she is a parole
officer, helping people—Lorenzo Brown among them—along a
path back to responsibility and advancement. At night she
heads for the city's hotel bars, where she can always find a
man who will let her act out her damage. She loses herself
in sex and drink and more. But Rachel's nights are taking a toll on her days. Lorenzo
knows the signs. The trouble is, he truly needs her right
now. There is an eruption coming in the streets he's left
behind, the kind of territorial war that takes down everyone
even near it. Lorenzo needs every shred of support he can
get to keep from getting sucked back into that battleground.
He reaches out to Rachel—but she may be too far gone to help
either of them. Writing with the grace and force that have earned him praise
as "the poet laureate of the crime world," George Pelecanos
has created a novel about two scarred and human people who
must navigate one of life's most brutal passages. It is an
unforgettable, moving, even shocking story that will leave
no reader unchanged.
