I Can See Clearly Now, the Rain Has Gone...

Why have I never read George Pelecanos before?

Started Hell to Pay last night, and am already done.  Apparently, it's not one of his most popular or critically acclaimed books, but it's still a New York Times Notable Book... and I sure think it's fantastic.

It's got fleshed out characters, a fascinating, vivid setting, and a great pace.  He's a master, and reading his work is an education for a newbie thriller writer like me :)

Thank God he's got a few zillion more books, and they're all available at the local (D.C.) library.
