HARD REVOLUTION by GEORGE PELECANOS
|
SummaryHARD REVOLUTION is a rich, dramatic, totally engrossing
story of two brothers--one a rookie police officer, one a
recently returned Vietnam veteran--caught up in the chaos
that engulfed D.C. in 1968, when riots followed the
assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Derek
Strange is his family's straight arrow, but his older
brother Dennis has always had a harder time. Home from the
war and in several varieties of trouble, Dennis is in
danger of making one bad decision too many. While Derek
tries to be there for Dennis, no amount of brotherly love
can save Dennis from Alvin Jones, a local drug dealer who
draws him into his web. An apocalyptic gun battle and an
impossible decision collide in the electrifying climax of
the most powerful book yet from George Pelecanos, a
novelist who "writes with intelligence and complexity, as
well as with a sober recognition of the evil at large in
the world."
