Synopsis

As the advertising director of Nutty Nathan's, Nick Stefanos knows all the tricks of the electronics business. Blow-out sales and shady deals were his life. When one of the stockboys disappears, it's not news: just another metalhead who went off chasing some dream of big money and easy living. But the kid reminded Nick of himself twelve years ago: an angry punk hooked on speed metal and the fast life. So when the boy's grandfather begs Nick to find the kid, Nick says he'll try. "A Firing Offense", Nick Stefanos' debut, shows why, as Barry Gifford puts it, 'To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal'.

UK Kirkus review

Pelecanos is a crime-writing star. His novels of blacks and whites co-existing on the streets of Washington DC over the past three decades defy criticism. Here, serial hero Nick Stefanos embarks on a search for a missing boy that takes him back to his own fast-living youth. (Kirkus UK)
