Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Bleak, gritty and moving, Soul Circus superbly brings to life a devastating story of life and death in Washington's black ghettos.
Private Investigator Derek Strange and his partner, Terry Quinn, are running a detective business in the seedy underbelly of Washington, DC when they are approached by a young man asking them to find his girlfriend who has gone missing. And so Strange and Quinn find her.
Just another day? Not quite. In the grimy underworld inhabited by Strange, nothing is that simple. For Strange and Quinn's efforts have led to a young mother being brutally murdered â?? a devastating discovery that causes them both to question the morality by which they live. And yet at the same time they need to continue the search for another missing girl, a teenage runaway who shows up in a porn video. And who hasn't been seen since.
Step by step, Strange and his partner are drawn into the darkness, confronting gunrunners, crime lords, drug dealers, and ordinary people caught up in the ruthless violence of the business. Soul Circus is a heart-stopping thriller that could only have been written by George Pelecanos, the writer who "has gone from cult favorite to acknowledged master" (Booklist… (mere)

El investigador privado Derek Strange y su socio Terry Quinn dirigen un negocio de detectives en el sórdido barrio bajo de Washington DC, cuando se les acerca un joven que les pide que encuentren a su novia, que ha desaparecido.
Y así, Strange y Quinn la encuentran.
¿Sólo otro día? No exactamente. En el mugriento inframundo habitado por Strange, nada es tan simple. Los esfuerzos de Strange y Quinn han llevado a que una joven madre sea brutalmente asesinada, un descubrimiento devastador que hace que ambos se cuestionen la moralidad por la que viven. Y, sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, deben continuar la búsqueda de otra niña desaparecida, una adolescente fugitiva que aparece en un video porno. Y a quien no se ha visto desde entonces.
Paso a paso, Strange y su compañero se ven envueltos en la oscuridad, enfrentándose a traficantes de armas, señores del crimen, traficantes de drogas y gente común atrapada en la violencia despiadada del negocio.

This series is really good so far, but it always surprises me because for some reason, whenever I start reading one, I feel like quitting. Then, it begins to draw me in, and pretty soon, I can't stop. They do a great job of putting me in the middle of this world that is far removed from my normal life, but I've been close enough in the past to recognize a lot of the reality of it. It's sad and violent, where life is cheap. Many of the characters seemed to have little choice of where they ended up, and no chance to change even when they see the need. But Derek Strange seems to be an exception in many ways. He's far from perfect, but he does what he can to help people and improve their lives, mostly young people who still have a chance. ( )

Inte heller denna Pelecanos-bok är någon kioskvältare. Gediget hantverk som sprattlar till ibland men det blir aldrig riktigt spännande. ( )

Pelecanos writes another book in the Derek Strange and Terry Quinn series. Strange is trying to shore up the case of someone who is on trial for murder--for something he may well have done, but Strange feels there are enough African American men killed on the streets of Washington with the state doing the same.
The author puts together a set of interlocking stories that gradually come together into a whole. Lots of violence and posturing. Strange is an honest man with a conscience. ( )

Typically good Pelecanos. Good plot, well written, interesting characters. ( )
