The Turnaround（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　PRAISE FOR THE TURNAROUND:
　　”Yet another gem of urban noir….A beautifully written and
thought-provoking novel of crime, friendship, aging and
redemption.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )
　　”[Pelecanos] tells a tight, suspenseful story. And he packs
enough of a wallop to put THE TURNAROUND on an express bus of its
own.” (New York Times Janet Maslin )
　　”Pelecanos does what few, if any, American writers do: He tells
the truth. Twain told the truth; Faulkner toyed with the truth;
Hemingway told his version of the truth, and Chandler certainly
told a cold, cynical truth. Pelecanos’s truth is from deep in the
heart, from places where red blood cells know more than all the
sweet, heady words truth usually hides behind.” (Chicago
Sun-Times Randy Michael Signor )
　　”George Pelecanos is one of the most literary of America’s crime
writers, and like most of his books, THE TURNAROUND is more than
mere entertainment. This beautifully written novel, rich with
carefully wrought characters, is both a fine crime story and a
thoughtful exploration of race relations in the lives of ordinary
Americans.” (Associated Press Bruce DeSilva
)

　　On a hot summer afternoon in 1972, three teenagers drove into
an unfamiliar neighborhood and six lives were altered
forever.
　　Thirty five years later, one survivor of that day reaches out to
another, opening a door that could lead to salvation. But another
survivor is now out of prison, looking for reparation in any form
he can find it.
　　THE TURNAROUND takes us on a journey from the rock-and-soul
streets of the ’70s to the changing neighborhoods of D.C. today,
from the diners and auto garages of the city to the inside of
Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, where wounded men and women have
returned to the world in a time of war. A novel of fathers and
sons, wives and husbands, loss, victory and violent redemption, THE
TURNAROUND is another compelling, highly charged novel from George
Pelecanos, “the best crime novelist in America.”
–Oregonian
