Advertising director Nick Stefanos is well acquainted with the seedy side of the electronics business - blow-out sales and shady deals were his life on the shop floor. So when a stockboy disappears, it's not news. Just another metalhead off chasing a dream of big money and easy living.

But the boy's grandfather asks Nick for help, and as Nick starts digging, he quickly uncovers a much darker and more violent truth. One that will lead him to the alcohol-soaked and drug-riddled underbelly of Washington DC.

Reviews for A Firing Offense: From Co-Creator of Hit HBO Show ‘We Own This City’

One of the finest crime writers of his generation * TIME OUT NEW YORK * There is no finer American crime writer working today * CHICAGO SUN TIMES * Think of it as Chinatown meets Glengarry Glen Ross * WASHINGTON POST * Perhaps the greatest living crime writer * Stephen King * To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal * Barry Gifford * Pelecanos is incapable of writing a book that isn't gripping * THE TIMES *
