The Man Who Came Uptown by George Pelecanos
Michael Hudson is a young man who made a mistake. Now he's serving out a prison sentence as a result. He spends his time devouring books given to him by the prison's librarian, a young woman named Anna who develops a soft spot for her best student. Anna keeps passing Michael books until one day he disappears, suddenly released thanks to a private detective who has his own reasons for wanting Michael on the outside.
Freedom comes at a cost: Michael discovers a Washington, D.C., that has changed dramatically during his time away. Trying to balance his new job, his love of reading, and the debt he owes to the man who arranged his release, Michael struggles to figure out his place in this new world, before he loses control and has to leave it once again.
