The Night Gardener

By George Pelecanos

The recent homicide of a teenager reminds cop Gus Ramone of a series of three deaths of young people 20 years ago.

Pelecanos does an excellent job of weaving this story of policemen and their jobs in a large city in this hard to put down mystery.

I believe there is also a film out by the same title which would be good to see as a lot of background info is provided in the book and helps the viewer to understand where the characters are coming from.

Another good one.
