"Derek Strange is an ex-cop who's making a good living with his own business, a detective agency called Strange Investigations. A new case hits him close to home: A police officer has been slain by another policeman in a confusing late-night clash, and the dead officer's mother asks Strange to help her make sense of his killing. That mother's request sends Strange into the darkest chasms of the D.C. underworld, where police officers and criminals operate by their own secret laws, and where human life is sometimes of less consequence than cash, drugs, and other forms of currency." "Strange is joined in his quest by Terry Quinn, the officer who was exonerated in the police inquiry into the shooting but who is still haunted by that terrifying night. Together Strange and Quinn confront the ravages of an unquenchable drug trade, the realities of race in the capital police force, and some of the most implacable, dead-eyed killers ever to haunt the pages of a novel."--BOOK JACKET.

My first book with mister GP Pelecanos and though, when I started reading it, I was like… “Ok, when the hell is gonna happen something? When will I get that turn-the-page anguish?” I realize that Right as Rain isn’t the typical mystery crime novel.
Pelecanos not only restrain himself to put hard-as-nail street-wise talk into the dialogues, he does it all the way through. Even when characters are thinking or he’s explaining something related to them.
The other characteristic that attracted my attention is his capacity to see small things from different point of views, specially related to racism, giving the plot a few twist not in the way the typical mystery does. I’ve to read more of this guy to call him something like a master at that, but he is good indeed.
