Soul Circus (Derek Strange & Terry Quinn Series, Book #3) by George Pelecanos
A Washington, D.C., crime overlord is fighting for his life in court. Two younger dealers are fighting for territory, prestige, and millions of dollars in future profits. It takes only one slip -- a kid going out of control with a rented pistol -- to push friction toward wholesale slaughter.
As the tension mounts, private investigator Derek Strange encounters a woman whose testimony could mean death or freedom for the crime lord. Strange wants her to talk -- but first, he'll have to keep her alive.
Strange and his partner find themselves drawn again into the darkness, confronting gunrunners, drug dealers, and ordinary people caught up in the ruthless violence of the business.
