Enjoyed "The Big Blowdown" so moved on to this 70's set second in the series immediately. Especially attracted by "Pelecanos's usual meticulous details of pop life..." (Publisher's Weekly). This was my era and George is of my generation, or in the ball-park of it at least. Well - "Clay nodded, then found his head moving to the gravelly Bill Lordan vocals, Trower's blues guitar working against a thick slab of bass." The problem here is that it is the bassist, James Dewer, who sings; Bill Lordan is simply the drummer. So? Meticulous, or just of the same age but creating a different universe? Will this irritation spoil the book - I doubt it. But I'll ignore the meticulous detail of the background because my faith in it's validity has been dented. Fun book with a few too many wasted details. Pelecanos does the 70s up perfectly but spends a bit too much time on things that never end up mattering in my opinion. Perhaps, now that I'm learning this is in fact part of a larger series, these details and character arcs come back in or source from other books... keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In the summer of 1976, the nation's capital is gearing up for the Bicentennial. Captain Beefheart's on the eight-track, and the hot new film "King Suckerman" has everyone talking. Two knockaround guys named Clay and Karras are out looking for trouble when they stumble onto a drug deal gone bad and end up with a pile of money that isn't theirs. When the well-armed dealer starts spilling blood to get to the cash, Clay and Karras must take a stand, go straight, and get justice--or maybe just sweet revenge.
