As the advertising director of Nutty Nathan's - "The Miser Who Saves You Money!"- Nick Stefanos knows all the tricks of the electronics business. Blow-out sales and shady deals were his life. When one of the stockboys disappears, it's not news: just another metalhead who went off chasing some dream of big money and easy living. But the kid reminded Nick of himself twelve years ago: an angry punk hooked on speed metal and the fast life. So when the boy's grandfather begs Nick to try to find the kid, Nick says he'll try. A Firing Offense, Nick Stefanos' debut, shows why George P. Pelecanos is a cult figure in U.S. crime writing, as Barry Gifford puts it, 'To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal'.
