In a world where crime is the rule and justice the
exception, Derek Strange is the man many turn to. His
private-detective firm, Strange Investigations, is the last
resort for people trying to find some truth in a hard
neighborhood.
When a local drug czar is jailed on murder charges and the
prosecution is seeking the death penalty, Strange feels it's
his responsibility to get to the bottom of the tangled
loyalties behind the killing. But no one wants to talk to
him or his partner, Terry Quinn. There's too much risk for
anyone to speak up — except one young woman whose pride is
stronger than her fear. With a deepening sense of loyalty
and responsibility, Strange chases down the case into its
most dangerous corners. Quinn pushes too, long past clear
warning signs, drawing on his own ideas about manhood and
trust. Doing whatever it takes to keep their witness alive,
they crack the street's code of silence. And the secrets
they uncover are explosive.
Populated with young men who think they're immortal, hard
men who sell guns to both sides, and two of the most soulful
and intriguing investigators in modern fiction, Soul Circus
is another seething, straight-ahead, nonstop drama from the
writer the Washington Post calls "the best of the new
hard-boiled."
