There's a man who might have the answer, but he wants something first. Phil Ornazian is a private investigator who moonlights as a petty criminal. He's not exactly proud of it, but times are hard in Washington, D.C. People have to change to survive, or die trying.But everything comes at a price and, at some point, everyone has to pay...* * * * *Praise for George Pelecanos: 'Perhaps the greatest living American crime writer' Stephen King 'Outstanding' Sunday Telegraph 'Powerful' Observer'American crime writing at its finest' Independent on Sunday'Terrific' Elmore Leonard 'Powerful' Michael Connelly 'I love the way he writes: economical, rhythmic, elliptical and angrily political' Val McDermid'Hard-boiled fiction with heart' Sunday Telegraph'Pelecanos has joined James Lee Burke and Lawrence Block at the high table of contemporary crime greats' The Times'The coolest writer in America' GQ 'Gold-standard character-driven crime writing that few will ever match' Financial Times
