Nick's Trip cover

A stylish and gripping crime novel from one of the acclaimed writers of THE WIRE.

Part-time PI Nick Stefanos doesn't tail wives anymore. But when a childhood friend steps into Nick's bar after 15 years and asks for help locating his wife April, he feels obliged to do some digging.

After a visit to the small-time crime boss with whom April was supposedly having an affair, Nick realises there is far more to this story than a missing wife. There is missing money. Lots of it. And some very powerful enemies...

Perhaps the greatest living crime writer * Stephen King *
To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal * Barry Gifford *
Pelecanos is incapable of writing a book that isn't gripping * THE TIMES *
As with all Pelecanos's best novels, an air of melancholy, guilt and regret pervades this rewarding tale * BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH *
