I savor a good short story like other people devour gourmet cupcakes. And one of my favorite collections has published a sequel.

Tomorrow night, George Pelecanos will be at Busboys and Poets (2021 14th St, NW, Washington, DC 20009) with anthology contributors Rhozier “Roach” Brown and James Grady.
