Best-selling author George Pelecanos takes listeners into the mean streets of Washington D.C. in his latest thought-provoking work of crime fiction. Lorenzo Brown has just been released from prison. Once the member of a brutal gang, he has vowed to change his life for the better. But his new job brings him face-to-face with the members of his old crew on a daily basis-and now it looks like he may be caught in the midst of a brewing turf war. "[Pelecanos] is one of today's most stellar writers of hard-boiled crime fiction." -The New York Times
