Description: Mystery sensation Pelecanos pens the lead story and edits this groundbreaking collection of stories detailing the seedy underside of the nation's capital. This is not an anthology of ill-conceived and inauthentic political thrillers. Instead, pimps, whores, gangsters, and con-men run rampant in zones of this city that most never hear about.
