Though the police promptly arrest three local black kids, newspaper reporter Sully Carter suspects there s more to the case. Reese s slaying might be related to a string of cold cases the police barely investigated, among them the recent disappearance of a gorgeous university student. \u003cbr\u003eA journalist brought home from war-torn Bosnia and hobbled by loss, rage, and alcohol, Sully encounters a city rife with its own brand of treachery and intrigue. Weaving through D.C. s broad avenues and shady backstreets on his Ducati 916 motorcycle, Sully comes to know not just the city s pristine monuments of power but the blighted neighborhoods beyond the reach of the Metro. With the city clamoring for a conviction, Sully pursues the truth about the murders all against pressure from government officials, police brass, suspicious locals, and even his own bosses at the paper. \u003cbr\u003eA wry, street-smart hero with a serious authority problem, Sully delves into a deeply layered mystery, revealing vivid portraits of the nation s capital from the highest corridors of power to D.C. s seedy underbelly, where violence and corruption reign supreme and where Sully must confront the back-breaking line between what you think and what you know, and what you know and what you can print. Inspired by the real-life 1990s Princeton Place murders and set in the last glory days of the American newspaper, \u003ci\u003eThe Ways of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e is a wickedly entertaining story of race, crime, the law, and the power of the media. Neely Tucker delivers a flawless rendering of a fast-paced, scoop-driven newsroom investigative journalism at its grittiest.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Viking","offers":[{"title":"Ways of the Dead | Neely Tucker | Hardcover | 9780670016587 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788433","offer_id":67857724997784,"sku":"1788433","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51RZicgHdzL.jpg?v=1793495169","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ways-of-the-dead","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
