Hard Revolution - George Pelecanos

Hard Revolution - George PelecanosDerek Strange, the job he's dreamed of since he was a boy. His brother, Dennis, has not been as fortunate; home from the service with a disability pension and zero prospects, he is a man with good intentions but bad habits. Derek has always looked out for Dennis, but no amount of brotherly love can save him from the dangerous world of Alvin Jones, a local bottom-feeder, hustler, and stone killer who draws him into his web of violence.

While the rookie cop navigates the rocky terrain of a city in turmoil, a family in crisis, and his love for a woman he has driven away, Frank Vaughn, a cop at the opposite end of his career, investigates the vicious hit-and-run of a young black man. Vaughn's personal life is a shambles, but he's good police; he pursues the killers with shark like intent. Meanwhile, in Memphis, a prophet is murdered, igniting a volcanic chain of events that will leave the nation's capital burned, divided, and decimated, forever changing the lives of its working-class inhabitants.

Two cops struggling to do their jobs against the backdrop of a violent uprising: Their paths collide in the middle of a full-fury revolution, in an electrifying climax to the most powerful audio book yet from George Pelecanos, "the poet laureate of the D. C. crime world" Esquire, who "writes with intelligence and complexity, as well as with a sober recognition of the evil at large in the world" [Washington Post].

The Bloomsday Dead - audio book

The Bloomsday Dead"His most visceral, satisfying effort yet. McKinty writes masterful action scenes, and he whips up a frenzy as the bullets begin to fly."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Outpaces its immediate predecessor, The Dead Yard, with McKinty's trademark dark lyricism, one great red herring, and a masterful plot twist that brings Forsythe's character full circle in a lightning flash."
--Booklist (starred review)

In this concluding book of Adrian McKinty's highly praised Dead series, Michael Forsythe confronts his former lover and now archrival, Bridget.

Michael has survived his infiltration of an IRA splinter cell in Boston, and now, his many near fatal wounds healed, he begins his next adventure as manager of hotel security in Lima, Peru.

It is there that he is contacted by his former lover, Bridget, whose fiance he killed. Bridget, calling from Dublin, says that her eleven-year-old daughter has been kidnapped.

Michael's choice is to fly to Dublin and help her find the girl, or be executed at the hands of the goons holding him at gunpoint. He agrees to nothing, and is soon on the way to Dublin, leaving the first two of many dead bodies in his wake.
