Hell To Pay : From Co-Creator of Hit HBO Show ‘We Own This City’

See all formats and editions

Set in darkest, downtown Washington, Hell to Pay begins with Quinn and Strange dealing with the usual detritus of the world's most violent city - a bent cop and a missing teenage-girl-turned-hooker - but then a senseless death on a sunny afternoon shakes even Derek Strange's existence.

A victim shot down by bullets meant for another; a tragic accident that strikes just too close to home. Strange's grief is all-consuming and he swears to track down and destroy the killers - ghetto style.

But as he throws himself deeper and deeper into the hunt, he has to ask questions of himself and his world that he would rather not.
