  Fact?Fiction?Or an autobiography?Only you can decide after you have read… 
  BROTHERHOOD SPY No. 7 They do not want you to read what I have written in this book. It was first sent to a publisher (that I will not name) in the year 1977. 
  After three months of inquiries into the status of the manuscript, I received a small box shipped to me through the U.S. mail. Inside the box was the manuscript I’d sent to the publisher, with a note that read, 
  “We are unable to publish your novel.” 
  Just that one line, and no explanation as to why. 
  Under the note was the manuscript. It had been put through a pulp paper shredder—the kind used to shred top-secret government documents . . . 
  Why you may ask, would they want to stop you from reading my story? They say it’s because it tells too many secrets and that I’m a spy … a spy for the Brotherhood! 
  Now you can follow my story from my birth in the Midwestern city of St. Louis, Missouri, to the gang-infested streets of Chicago, Illinois, and into the war-torn jungles of Vietnam. 
  But what comes after, you will not believe . . .

  From George Pelecanos, bestselling author and Emmy-nominated writer for HBO’s The Wire and Treme: private investigator Derek Strange returns, in a riveting drama about revenge, greed, and redemptionHe was curious. It was the cop in him. That flame was still alive.

When a flashy drug lawyer hires him to prove an alibi for an accused murderer, Strange can’t help getting drawn into the darkness. In his hunt for answers, he stands his ground against some of Washington, D.C.’s most dangerous criminals, and a police department that doesn’t entirely welcome his interference. As the violence escalates and claims another victim, the raised stakes force Strange to question his own moves. Are his instincts still intact?The Blue Flame is signature Pelecanos: tough, smart, rich with details of a time and place—and at its core, exposing the good and bad that exist side by side in so-called heroes and villains alike.

  "In this business, nothing is as good as dead …" 
    
  The business in question is the high-end art world, and everyone in this darkly comedic mystery wants a piece of it. 
    
  When painter Augie Silver is lost at sea in a sailing accident, his many friends among Key West's artists, writers, and hangers-on mourn—until, that is, they realize that Augie's death has sent the prices for his pictures skyrocketing. What at first seemed a tragedy turns out to be a windfall—until, that is, Augie, rescued at sea, limps back to town alive. Not everyone is thrilled by the artist's resurrection. Someone, in fact, is upset enough to start trying to bump off Augie for real. 
    
  Full of steamy Key West atmosphere and sometimes brutal insights into the wacky world of creative types, SCAVENGER REEF is both a taut whodunit and a wise meditation on loyalty real or faked, friendships sincere or toxic.
