I’ve recently become interested in George Pelecanos, who writes crime novels based in Washington, DC. I’m wondering if anyone here is a fan, and what book to start with. I think he has more than one series.

I’m in the mood for new authors. Thanks. I like crime stories especially if they involve Washington, DC. I’m not nearly as self righteous as most of the replies here imply. I cannot take heavy reading now. My reading has to be FUN in my down time.
I am cleaning out all my David Baldacci books because I decided I am not going to be run all over the mulberry tree with multiple characters and multiple plots at my age. A third of the way through his latest books I’ve nearly thrown them at the wall. I will put them in a bin at my library and will have more room on my bookshelves now - Hurray!
Used to be a favorite of mine but no longer. Maybe it was because I read that he met obozo’s plane (OUR PLANE, IN FACT), on one of their trips to Maine?????
Dear Jamestown,
I have not heard of that author, mainly because I read ‘classic noir’, except for the late Robert b. Parker’s man and woman detective novels.
(for those reading this later, classic noir pre-dates any mobile phone and any kind of computer smaller than a filled room, where the detective or P.I. had his notes, his memories, and his wits, and nothing else.)
Now, as to ‘crime in D.C.’, I think Mr. Clancy nailed the solution to that, in “Debt of honor”.
