In Drama City, Los Angeles is a city on the edge. It's a city where the police are corrupt, the criminals are ruthless, and the addicts are desperate. It's also a city where the actors, street hustlers, and wannabes struggle to find their place in a world that seems to be against them. And then there's George P. Pelecanos, a one-time police officer turned crime fiction writer, who has spent his life watching this city from the outside. In Drama City, he introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters-including an ambitious young detective, a cynical street hustler, and a hooker with a heart of gold-and tells the story of their lives and their city in a uniquely visceral and intimate fashion.; 8vo; Signed by Author.
