What It Was by George Pelecanos

4.0

This was the third Pelecanos book I've read and, though all three have been good, this was the first one to take me any where. Of the three I've read (the other two being King Suckerman and Drama City, this is definitely the most compelling story and has a good edge to it. Also, his D.C. atmosphere is at its best here. There was never a moment in my mind that I forgot the story takes place in 1972. A solid read.
