The Night Gardener"When a local teenager is found dead in a community garden, the murder unearths intense memories of an unsolved series of murders Gus Ramone worked twenty years earlier, all involving teenage victims. In this haunting story of three cops - one good, one bad, one broken - and the murder that reunites them in a showdown decades in the making, Pelecanos achieves a perfect union of suspense, character, and unstoppable fate" -- publisher website (March 2007). |
