Synopsis

Nick Stefanos, having earned his P.I. license, quickly discovers that snapping photos of unfaithful husbands does not make for a fulfilling job. Tending bar one night at the Spot, Nick is visited by his high-school friend, Billy Goodrich. Billy's wife is gone. Nick agrees to find her. And with that first step, he sets out on a one-way trip through a sewer of theft, intrigue and love. George P. Pelecanos' reputation goes from strength to strength. 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. In Nick's Trip Nick Stefanos, having earned his PI licence, is feeling unfulfilled. Then an old schoolfriend asks him to help find his wife, and he embarks on a trip through a sewer of theft, intrigue and love. These books are tough, streetwise, hip, cool, with a soundtrack of classic soul and rock. What more do you need to know? (Kirkus UK)
