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
How far will a father go to save his son? A page-turning story of rebellion, greed, and the high price of a second chance from 'one of the finest crime writers in America' THE TIMES. Hidden beneath the floorboards in a house he's remodeling, Christopher Flynn discovers something very tempting - and troubling. Summoning every bit of maturity and every lesson he's learned the hard way, Chris leaves what he found where he found it and tells his job partner to forget it, too.
Knowing trouble when he sees it - and walking the other way - is a habit Chris is still learning. Chris's father, Thomas Flynn, runs the family business where Chris and his friends have found work. Thomas is just getting comfortable with the idea that his son is grown, working, and on the right path at last. Then one day Chris doesn't show up for work-and his father knows deep in his bones that danger has found him.
Although he wishes it weren't so, he also knows that no parent can protect a child from all the world's evils. Sometimes you have to let them find their own way home.
