Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. Gus Ramone is "good police," a former Internal Affairs investigator now working homicide for the city's Violent Crime branch. His new case involves the death of a local teenager named Asa whose body has been found in a local community garden.The murder unearths intense memories of a case Ramone worked as a patrol cop twenty years earlier, when he and his partner, Dan "Doc" Holiday, assisted a legendary detective named T. C. Cook. The series of murders, all involving local teenage victims, was never solved. In the years since, Holiday has left the force under a cloud of morals charges, and now finds work as a bodyguard and driver. Cook has retired, but he has never stopped agonizing about the "Night Gardener" killings.The new case draws the three men together on a grim mission to finish the work that has haunted them for years. All the love, regret, and anger that once burned between them comes rushing back, and old ghosts walk once more as the men try to lay to rest the monster who has stalked their dreams. Bigger and even more unstoppable than his previous thrillers, George Pelecanos achieves in THE NIGHT GARDENER what his brilliant career has been building toward: a novel that is a perfect union of suspense, character, and unstoppable fate.… (plus d'informations)

c'est un grand auteur de polar ..a lire
  boch | Sep 12, 2009 |
Sometimes, you're reading a book and all you want to do is grab whoever's in the room and say, "Listen to this," and then read a patch of the writing out loud. Just listen to how this guy riffs on street life, you want to say. How he nails boozy guys shooting the breeze in a saloon. How powerfully he catches fear or grief -- or love -- in a sentence or two.

This is what happens when you read George Pelecanos's crime fiction.

Structurally, this may just be the perfect crime novel. It begins in 1985 with the murder of a 14-year-old girl in Washington DC and ends in the same place and time when all is revealed in a denouement that stops the breath. In the intervening pages, the lives of the police who were present at the original scene are revisited in a "where are they now" scenario that confirms and, subsequently, challenges the logic of our first encounter.
 
Pelecanos rocks!
 
The Night Gardener” is another of Mr. Pelecanos’s beautifully delineated moral tales, filled with gut-wrenching turns of fate and razor-sharp, boisterously vivid characters.
 
George Pelecanos' engrossing crime novel -- perfect for fans of "The Wire" -- tells parallel stories of cops and criminals in Washington, D.C.
