The
Night Gardener by George Pelecanos, 377 pages. When Asa, a local young man, and a friend of Detective Gus Ramone's son, turns up dead, Gus, and his old partner, now an alcoholic chauffeur, must investigate. Twenty years before, three bodies had been found in similar places, and the victims then all had names that were palindromes. The detectives must try and track down a murderer who has eluded the police for decades. Vintage Pelecanos, his books are always about more than just the crime. He really doesn't take many false steps. Check our catalog. Ebook. |
