Praise for this book
"Triumphant . . . An outstanding accomplishment." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A huge, ambitious novel about cops, kids, and cocaine . . . Price pressure-cooks the city down to its dense, searing essentials." --The Village Voice "Page after page explodes with a prose as vivid as kinetic art." --Chicago Tribune "Price displays a near-perfect ear for street language. . . . He gets so deep under the skin of both the cops and the clockers that it's hard to believe he himself has never been either." --People "A classic . . . A powerful book." --Newsweek
