Washington, D.C., 1972. Derek Strange has remaining the police office and set up shop as an exclusive investigator. His previous partner, Frank "Hound Dog" Vaughn, continues to be on the push. When a young woman comes to Strange requesting his help recovering an inexpensive ring she remarks has sentimental value, the case leads him onto Vaughn's turf, where a local medication addict's been murdered, taken point-blank in his apartment. Soon both men are on the trail of any ruthless killer: Red Fury, so needed his looks and the automobile his sweetheart drives, but a name that will fit his personality all too well. Red Fury does not have a retirement plan, as Vaughn points out - he doesn't care who he must cross, or destroy, to get what he wants. As the assault escalates and the stakes get higher, Odd and Vaughn know the only path to catch their man is to do it their own way. Full with information on place and time - the vehicles, the music, the clothes - and fueled by non-stop action, this is Pelecanos writing in the hard-boiled noir style that won him his earliest fans and positioned him strongly in the rates of the most notable crime writers in America.
