review of george pelacanos, the cut, spero lucas is asked by an attorney to investigate the cause of missing packages, seems like when packages are delivered to peoples, houses, they disappear, and it's beginning to look as if there is either product or money in these packages, so where are they being taken to? and who is picking them up in broad daylight off peoples, porches? the plot thickens, comments, this was a truly great book, first one i've read by this author, and you can be sure i'll read more, a real nail biter, this was one of those books you knew would be too short and would end too soon, good stuff, Don
