Hell To Pay

Hell To Pay by George Pelecanos, 344 pages.

Derek Strange and Terry Quinn, both ex-cops now working as private investigators, return in this somewhat grim and noire-ish novel set (as is most of Pelecanos's work) in the meaner streets of our nation's Capitol.
Reading this, it is easy to see why Pelecanos was asked to write so many episodes off HBO's excellent drama The Wire.
The last volume featuring this duo of detectives.
