In this crime novel, George Pelecanos introduces Spero Lucas, an anti-hero making his place in the world one battle at a time. Spero Lucas, an Iraq War veteran, works as a special investigator for a defense attorney in Washington, D.C. His specialty is recovering stolen property, no questions asked, in exchange for 40% of the value. A high-profile crime boss hires him to find out who is stealing from his operation, the biggest job he's been offered so far. But before he can close the case, he faces a world of men whose amorality and violence leave him reeling. Is it worth risking your family, your lover, your life for a piece of the pie? 'The Cut' is the first novel in the Spero Lucas thriller series and the latest confirmation of why George Pelecanos is 'perhaps America's greatest crime writer'.
