Аннотация

For Joey Recevo and Pete Karras, two kids from one of Washington’s rougher neighborhoods, the easiest work to find after the War is all criminal — providing a little muscle for a local boss. But Karras is soft on his fellow immigrants, and the boss can’t let his mob get soft, so one of his boys gives Karras a painful lesson.
Three years later, it’s this same mob that figures big Nick Stefanos’s grill needs protection — and this decision will, once again, bring Joey and Pete face-to-face. In this final confrontation, the two of them will find the meaning of friendship and honor, and its cost.
Powerfully told, elegantly wrought, The Big Blowdown delivers on all of George Pelecanos’s early promise and establishes him at the forefront of today’s crime writers.
