The Cut
The Cut | George P. Pelecanos
2 posts | 3 read
Crime fiction writer George Pelecanos introduces Spero Lucas, an anti-hero making his place in the world one battle at a time. Includes a bonus work of short fiction focusing on Spero's early life. Spero Lucas has a new line of work. Since he returned home to Washington, D.C. after serving in Iraq, he has been doing special investigations for a defense attorney. He's good at it, and he has carved out a niche: recovering stolen property, no questions asked. His cut is forty percent. A high-profile crime boss who has heard of Lucas's specialty hires him to find out who has been stealing from his operation. It's the biggest job Spero has ever been offered, and he quickly gets a sense of what's going on. But before he can close in on what's been taken, he tangles with a world of men whose amorality and violence leave him reeling. Is any cut worth your family, your lover, your life? The first in a series of thrillers featuring Spero Lucas, The Cut is the latest confirmation of why George Pelecanos is "perhaps America's greatest living crime writer." (Stephen King)

Just finished this audiobook for the letter “P“ for the #litsyAtoZ challenge, so that's now done. This was an easy private investigator story with decent narration. Not really brain food but a quick distraction. Now I just have to find a “X“ title/author to finish the challenge! (Working on V right now).

Next audiobook. I'm struggling now because I have P,V,X left in the #litsyAtoZ challenge. I think I have “V“ lined up but “X“ is going to be the killer. Already did Grafton so I've got to keep my eyes open! I hope this is good, I honestly only chose it for the author's last name and availability as an audiobook!
