Helpful Score: 2

Pelecanos is such a talented character writer. In the past few months Ive read three of his books and I always become so engrossed in the lives of the main characters that by the end of the book I feel like I know them inside and out. He perfectly captures the intensity of the detectives, the angst of Ramones teenage son and the harshness of the thugs.

The storyline was well developed and it had an ending I could never have predicted. After reading these three Pelecanos books I can say that I am definitely a new fan of this author and Im definitely going to be reading more by him. This is a recommended read for mystery lovers.
