Police and Thieves

Fast, ferocious, gritty, and bleak, Police and Thieves — the final tale of the Mission Quartet — is contemporary noir at its best, from "one of the most intriguing novelists writing now" (Review of Contemporary Fiction). Doojie is a small-time drug dealer who lives in a garage with his two partners in crime and sells dope of questionable quality. But when he sees a renegade cop shoot an unarmed Mexican, Doojie knows that things are about to change. Soon he and his buddies are running for their lives.
