Pelecanos, George P.

Anna Byrne is a jailhouse librarian. Most days, she loves her job and shares the life-
affirming power of books to people who would have no hope without them. Often, she can
get too close and forget some of these men are dangerous criminals.

awaiting trial before his sudden release. He's happy and relieved but can't shake the
question preying on his mind: how comes the witness who put him behind bars is
suddenly refusing to testify?
There's a man who might have the answer, but he wants something first. Phil Ornazian
is a private investigator who moonlights as a petty criminal. He's not exactly proud of it,
but times are hard in Washington D.C. People have to change to survive, or die trying.
But everything comes at a price and, at some point, everyone has to pay...
