"A lean, swift, atmospheric detective novel...The
characters-good-hearted, ill-intentioned or in between-are shown by
Mr. Pelecanos with loving clarity, free of clich�, condescension or
illusion. Spero Lucas is an engagingly layered character...The Cut
is a resourceful and notably original work the delivers the thrills
of an action movie and the poignancy of fine storytelling."--Tom
Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"Every time I read one of George Pelecanos's novels -- and The Cut
might be the best yet -- I'm left a little awed...The guy's a
national treasure."--Dennis Lehane
"It's astonishing all the good stuff Pelecanos can pack into one
unpretentious book: meaty substance, multiple story lines, vital
characters, choice dialogue and all those descriptive details ...
that make the story so rich."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
"Pelecanos at his best...The Cut crackles with energy."--Dan
DeLuca, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Pelecanos' work has antecedents in the books and films of Richard
Stark (Donald Westlake), John D. MacDonald, Elmore Leonard and Don
Siegel but also a spooky magic all his own - thanks to the utter
believability he maintains."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
PRAISE FOR THE CUT: "The writing is spare; the dialogue rings with
authenticity; and walking D.C.'s mean streets with Lucas is the
next best thing to being there. Easily the best crime novel I've
read this year."--Hallie Ephron, Boston Globe
