“Pelecanos absolutely knows what he is doing” – The Man Who Came Uptown by George Pelecanos

" The Man Who Came Uptown is at once a standard Pelecanos - in that, it delivers everything that a Pelecanos fan would want from a Pelecanos novel - and also a step up into a new mature style that eschews unnecessary fireworks in favour of a smooth and easy swagger. Pelecanos absolutely knows what he is doing. The calm, assured way in which he switches POV between the three main characters is like a masterclass in how you move narrative along. There is no fat here but neither is there wasted haste. I also get the sense that this will not be the last we hear from Michael Hudson..."
