Police And Thieves

Fast, ferocious, gritty, and bleak, Police and Thieves -- the final tale of the Mission Quartet -- is contemporary noir at its best, from one of the most intriguing novelists writing now (Review of Contemporary Fiction). Doojie is a small-time drug dealer who lives in a garage with his two partners in crime and sells dope of questionable quality. But when he sees a renegade cop shoot an unarmed Mexican, Doojie knows that things are about to change. Soon he and his buddies are running for their lives. Plates sixth novel in the past decade and probably his best. San Francisco Chronicle
