MysteryPeople is proud to present bestselling author GEORGE PELECANOS speaking and signing The Cut.
The author of fifteen novels set in and around D. C., Pelecanos, who was also a writer, producer and story editor for the hit HBO series The Wire, kicks off a new series with character Spero Lucas. Lucas, a young Iraq vet, accepts a job doing special investigations for a high-profile crime boss. He quickly tangles with a world of men whose amorality and violence leave him reeling and asking if any cut is worth your family, your lover, your life?
George Pelecanos has been the recipient of the Raymond Chandler award in Italy, the Falcon award in Japan, and the Grand Prix Du Roman Noir in France. Hell to Pay and Soul Circus were awarded the 2003 and 2004 Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. His short fiction has appeared in Esquire and the collections Unusual Suspects, Best American Mystery Stories of 1997, Measures of Poison, Best American Mystery Stories of 2002, Men From Boys, Murder at the Foul Line, and D.C. Noir, for which he also served as editor. He is an award-winning essayist who has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, GQ, Sight and Sound, Uncut, Mojo, and numerous other publications.
