THE WAY HOME by George Pelecanos - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by George Pelecanos.
How far will a father go to save his son? That question is the beating pulse beneath George Pelecanos's spectacular new novel.
When
Thomas Flynn leaves his son, seventeen year-old Chris, at Pine Ridge, a
juvenile prison near Washington, D.C., his heart is broken but his mind
is made up: Chris will have to pay for the mistakes he's made.
Inside,
Chris is exposed to kids from a different D.C. than the comfortable one
he knew-- one less remote from the street fights, car chases, and
marijuana deals that got him here in the first place.
A decade
later, Chris and the friends he made at Pine Ridge seem reformed. Chris
has a job, thanks to his father, a girlfriend, and his own apartment.
But when he and the others are inadvertently caught up in a burglary,
old habits and worse instincts rise to the surface, threatening this
new-found stability with sudden treachery and violence. With the drama,
compassion, and urgency for which Pelecanos is celebrated, The Way Home travels the streets of Washington, D.C. and tells the story of its
people, and the tensions that always linger just out of sight, circling
back again and again to that clapboard house on Livingston Street where
Thomas and Chris Flynn's rocky relationship moves from distrust and
scorn toward a flawed, but real, redemption.
