Hard Revolution

Amidst the chaos of D.C. in 1968, two brothers-one a rookie police officer, one a Vietnam veteran-struggle to make sense of their lives during the riots following the assassination of Reverend Martin Luther King. As different from one another as it is possible to be, Derek Strange has never deviated from the straight-and-narrow while his older brother Dennis has always walked to the beat of his own drum. Battling to cope with what he experienced in Vietnam, Dennis quickly finds himself in varying degrees of trouble. While Derek tries his hardest to help him, Dennis makes one bad decision too many. Now, no amount of brotherly love can save Dennis from Alvin Jones, a local drug dealer who knows too much about him and will not let him go...Pelecanos, George P. is the author of 'Hard Revolution', published 2004 under ISBN 9780792731849 and ISBN 0792731840.
