Book description
Spero Lucas has a new line of work. Since he returned home after
serving in Iraq, he has been doing special investigations for a defence
attorney. He's good at it, and he has carved out a niche: recovering
stolen property, no questions asked. His cut is 40%.
A high-profile crime boss who has heard of Lucas's speciality hires him
to find out who has been stealing from his operation. It's the biggest
job Lucas has ever been offered, and he quickly gets a sense of what's
going on. But before he can close in he tangles with a world of men
whose amorality and violence leave him reeling. Is any cut worth your
family, your lover, your life? George Pelecanos is an independent film
producer, an essayist, the recipient of numerous international writing
awards, a producer and an EMMY-nominated writer on the HBO hit series
THE WIRE. He is the author of a bestselling series of crime novels set
in and around Washington, D. C.
