SOUL CIRCUS is darkly atmospheric with strong characterisation and a compelling plot. 'For some time George P. Pelecanos has been the best-kept secret in crime fiction - maybe all fiction. His stories have always been powerful tales of character and survival that grip the mind and the heart.' Michael Connelly A good performance from HELL TO PAY. We converted our 6000 trade paperback sale into a hardcover one. Again sell-through was great and returns minimal.
