The Way Home

This is another great quick read by The Wire writer George Pelecanos.

Like most of his work it's set in Washington D.C. and involves petty (and not so petty) criminals and gangs. The main charaters in this novel are Chris Flynn, first seen in juvenile prison, and his father George. The story skips ahead a few years, and follows the twisted path of mistakes and violence, but is ultimately a story about redemption. Pelecanos does a great job of drawing his charaters.
