The Whites is the electrifying debut of a new professional of American offense fiction, Harry Brandt - the pen name of novelist Richard Price. Back in the run-and-gun times of the mid-'90s, when Billy Graves did the trick in the South Bronx as part of an anticrime product known as the Crazy Geese, he made headlines by inadvertently capturing a 10-year-old boy while halting an angel-dusted berserker in the street. Branded as a cowboy by his higher-ups, for the next 18 years Billy endured one dead-end placing after another. Now in his early 40s, he has in some way survived and be a sergeant on the Manhattan Evening Watch, a tiny team of detectives charged with responding to all nighttime felonies from Wall membrane Road to Harlem. Evening Watch usually operates as a setup crew for your day shift, but when Billy is called to a 4:00 a.m. fatal slashing of a man in Penn Train station, his inspection of the offense moves beyond the usual handoff. And when he discovers that the victim was once a suspect in the unsolved murder of an 12-year-old boy - a brutal circumstance with associations to the past customers of the Crazy Geese - the bad days of the past are back in Billy's life with a vengeance, tearing aside enduring friendships forged in the urban trenches and even threatening the protection of his family. Richard Price, one of America's most gifted novelists, has always written brilliantly about cops, crooks, and NEW YORK. Now, writing as Harry Brandt, he's poised to win an enormous following among all those who hunger for first-rate offense fiction.
