Hard Revolution - (Derek Strange and Terry Quinn) by George P Pelecanos (Paperback)

About the Book

Two brothers--rookie police officer Derek Strange and his older brother Dennis, a troubled Vietnam Veteran--become caught up in the riots engulfing Washington, D.C., in the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Book Synopsis

In this epic showdown from "one of the best crime novelists alive" (Dennis Lehane), police officer Derek Strange hunts his brother's killer through a city erupting with rage.

"Mr. Pelecanos's uniqueness comes from his bravery in ignoring the concept of cool. Unlike many of today's chroniclers of streetwise behavior, he's not afraid to put heart and humanity into his mix, and it pays off in reader involvement . . . Pelecanos's prose is distinguished not only by the human protagonists but also by the humanity he finds in even the basest of his bad men."
