Book Reviews of Hard Revolution
Book Review: A Crime Novel from Late Sixties Washington, D.C.
Summary: 4 Stars
In this, Pelecanos last novel staring the Washingtonian Derek Strange, Pelecanos takes Strange back in time to the Washington, D.C. of the late sixties when racial tensions and small time crime were plaguing the city. Pelecanos is among the best writers working in crime fiction and he handles this story, and especially the events happening in Washington on the night of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assasination masterfully.
Like Pelecanos's other works, Hard Revolution makes the district come alive and exposes a world of hard working blue collar families and young kids caught up in trouble that has little to do with the halls of power that occupy the same city. If you like your crime novels hard boiled, brilliantly written and historically accurate, then Pelecanos and Hard Revolution is for you.
