George Pelecanos, né à Wahington le 18 févier 1957, est auteur de romans policiers. Il a fait de sa ville son terrain de jeux, tous ses romans se déroulant dans cette ville où les différentes communautés ont parfois bien du mal à cohabiter. Après différents petits boulots, il commence à travailler pour le cinéma, et crée sa propre société de distribution de films en 1981. Tout cela lui laisse peu de temps, aussi écrit-il la nuit. Ainsi vont naître les aventures du détective Nick Stefanos, que l'on peut retrouver dans "Le chien qui vendait des chaussures" (1997), "Anacostia river blues" (1999), "Nick la galère" (2001) ou "Liquidations" (2003). Il s'identifie tellement à son héros qu'il rédige ses ouvrages à la première personne. Ensuite viennent les aventures d'un binôme d'enquêteurs Dimitri Karras et Marcus Clary, Nick Stefanos n'étant plus que consultant. On les retrouve dans "King Suckerman" (1999), "Suave comme l'éternité" (2000), "Funky Guns" (2001), et "Un nommé Peter Karras" (2001). Puis apparaissent deux nouveaux détectives, Derek Strange et Terry Quinn, notamment dans "Blanc comme neige" (2002) ou "Soul Circus" (2005). Plus de héros récurrents dans ses derniers ouvrages, mais toujours la ville de Washington et le milieu du sport comme toiles de fond :"Drama City" (2007), "Les jardins de la mort" (2008), "Un jour en mai" (2009) ou "Mauvais fils" (2011).

Résumé
'This is a wonderful powerful novel that deserves to win an Oscar' TIME OUTIt's the spring of 1968, the sun shines down on an America on the brink of civil war. Martin Luther King preaches in vain for non-violent protest and the ghettos of Washington DC seethe with anger. In the middle of this powder-keg is thrust a young black cop, barely out of school himself. Derek Strange believes passionately that he can make a difference, but his friends and family think he's a traitor and a patsy of the white establishment.
On April 4th, 1968, Dr King is assassinated on the balcony of his motel in Memphis, Tennessee. And black America rises as one to condemn the slaying of their hero. For one week, it seems that the whole country will fall. And Derek, his brother, his father, his mother and his whole community find themselves at the heart of a battle for the heart and soul of the new world.
