Washington D.C. 1972. Derek Strange has left the police department and set up shop as a private investigator. His former partner Frank “Hound Dog” Vaughn is still on the force. When a young woman comes to Strange asking for his help recovering a cheap ring she claims has sentimental value, the case leads him onto Vaughn’s turf where a local drug addict’s been murdered 
shot point-blank in his apartment. Soon both men are on the trail of a ruthless killer: Red Fury, so called for his looks and the car his girlfriend drives, but a name that fits his personality all too well.
Red Fury doesn’t have a retirement plan as Vaughn points out – he doesn’t care who he has to cross or kill to get what he wants. As the violence escalates and the stakes get higher, Strange and Vaughn know the only way to catch their man is to do it their own way. Rich with details of place and time – the cars 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 placed him firmly in the ranks of the top crime writers in America. Buy this crime fiction through 28 February for only 99p.
