Description:

Politics and Prose Bookstore at Busboys and Poets welcomes George Pelecanos to sign and discuss The Martini Shot: A Novella and Stories. 

Join us for the very first P&P author event at the new Busboys and Poets in Brookland! And who better to kick off this partnership than Washington’s finest mystery writer? 

Pelecanos’s first collection of short fiction complements his many full-length thrillers by deepening familiar themes, including father/son tensions, and complicating characters, such as Spero Lucas, that we thought we already knew. The title novella explores the thin line between fact and fantasy, when TV scripts and real-life crimes develop uncanny similarities. (Little, Brown)
