THE DOUBLE
In this gritty, sexy novel, George Pelecanos finds a lot for Spero to do...
Spero’s job seems straightforward enough: retrieve the valuable painting - "The Double" - Grace Kinkaid's ex-boyfriend stole from her and get a handsome piece of the action when she sells the painting. It's the sort of thing Spero Lucas specializes in: finding what's missing, and doing it quietly. But Grace wants more. She wants revenge on the man who humiliated her - a violent career criminal with a small gang of brutal thugs at his beck and call.
As Lucas chases his target, he's also chasing someone else - a married woman. In the midst of a steamy, passionate love affair that he knows can't last, in pursuit of a dangerous man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, Lucas is forced to decide what kind of man he is - and how far he'll go to get what he wants. Spero Lucas knows all too well that every man has a dark side and now, he confronts his own.
