Derek Strange and Terry Quinn are ex-cops turned private detectives in Washington, DC. Hired to investigate the death of an off-duty black police officer at the hands of a white policeman, Strange and Quinn are faced with the institutionalised racism of the nation's most poorly trained and dangerous police force, confront the degradation of the city's flourishing drug trade, and find themselves up against some of the most implacable, dead-eyed killers ever to grace the pages of a novel.
In 'Right As Rain', George Pelecanos introduces a memorable new pair of characters into the grittily real Washington DC milieu which had became his hallmark in such acclaimed novels as 'The Sweet Forever' and 'Shame The Devil'. This is Pelecanos at his matchless best.
