Title: Top of the Game
Product review: I come late as a fan of Pelecanos, and I can't believe I overlooked such a top notch writer. Characters, dialogue and setting all make this a noir mystery from the old school. Heroes aren't always heroes and the surprise ending is back. In Derek Strange and Terry Quinn Pelecanos has created a real life experience, men with souls, consciences and a sense of their own shortcomings. But that doesn't stop them from trying to do the right thing, make mistakes and move forward within the limits of their power. Not for the faint of heart or the reader with a false sense of right and wrong.
