Synopsis

As the advertising director of Nutty Nathan's, Nick Stefanos knows all the tricks of the electronics business. Blow-out sales and shady deals were his life. When one of the stockboys disappears, it's not news: just another metalhead who went off chasing some dream of big money and easy living. But the kid reminded Nick of himself twelve years ago: an angry punk hooked on speed metal and the fast life. So when the boy's grandfather begs Nick to find the kid, Nick says he'll try. A Firing Offense, Nick Stefanos' debut, shows why, as Barry Gifford puts it, 'To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal.'

George Pelecanos has broken with tradition in so many ways, it feels as if he has launched a category of his own...here is your first turn-of-the-century crime writer * Charlie Gillett *
Pelecanos puts together a slam-bang climax that contains all the requisite elements?action, tragedy, victory, and random death. It's a terrific start for a quality series * Mostly Murder *
