Washington, D.C., 1995. What should have been a straightforward restaurant robbery goes horribly wrong. Several workers are shot in cold blood; the gunman's brother is killed by police; a young boy is run over by a careering getaway car.
Three years pass. Victims and their relatives gather in the aftermath, still trying to come to terms with their grief. But gunman Frank Farrow has other ideas. Now the heat has died down, he is on his way back to Washington, determined to avenge his lost brother ... by killing everyone involved in his death.

-- Dennis Lehane, author of Prayers for Rain "Tough and skillful...there are action scenes as fierce as any you will read and street talk that hits the ear as smart and accurate."
-- San Francisco Chronicle Also by George P. Pelecanos: The Sweet Forever "Brilliant."
-- The Dallas Morning News "The Sweet Forever is the bomb!"
-- The Seattle Times King Suckerman "King Suckerman's got jive, juice, and a whole lotta justice."
