Description
A taut and suspenseful novel by George Pelecanos follows Michael Hudson as he navigates his new life outside prison. After being released after a private detective manipulated a witness in his trial, Michael finds himself torn between the temptation of crime and doing what's right. As he tries to balance his job, love of reading, and debt to the man who got him released, Michael struggles to figure out his place in this new world. The city has changed much since his time locked up, but some things remain the same - the hard choices that come with freedom. Smart and fast-paced, this high-stakes story brings Washington D.C. to life, exploring tough choices and the consequences of one's actions.
