Pelecanos's The Big Blowdown is a knockout.Washington DC, 1946. For Joey Recevo and Pete Karras, two kids from one of Washington's rougher neighborhoods, the easiest work to find after the War is all criminal---providing a little muscle for a local boss. But Karris is soft on his fellow immigrants, and the boss can't let his mob get soft, so one of his boys gives Karras a painful lesson.Three years later, it's the same mob that figures big Nick Stefanos's grill needs protection---and this decision will once again bring Joey and Pete face-to-face. In this final confrontation, the two of them will find the meaning of friendship, the heart of honor, and the cost of both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736031068448,"sku":"NEW0312242913","price":14.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71XLhWSHkfL.jpg?v=1779503313","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-big-blowdown-0312242913","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
