About the book
In this gritty crime novel, the disappearance of a stockboy sets salesman Nick Stefanos on a dangerous investigation that changes his life forever.
As the advertising director of Nutty Nathan's, Nick Stefanos knows all the tricks of the electronics business. Blow-out sales and shady deals were his life. When one of the stockboys disappears, it's not news: just another metalhead who went off chasing some dream of big money and easy living. But the kid reminded Nick of himself twelve years ago: an angry punk hooked on speed metal and the fast life. So when the boy's grandfather begs Nick to find the kid, Nick says he'll try.
A Firing Offense, Nick Stefanos' debut, shows why, as Barry Gifford puts it, \"To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal.\"
