Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Novelist and Academy Award–nominated screenwriter Richard Price's bestselling second novel offers "an unforgettable picture of inner-city decay and despair" (USA Today).
At once an intense mystery and a revealing study of two men, a veteran homicide detective and an inner-city crack dealer, on opposite sides of an endless war. Clockers is "powerful...harrowing...remarkable" (The New York Times Book Review).
Review:
"One hell of a book." Washington Post Book World

Review:
"A huge, ambitious novel about cops, kids, and cocaine....Price pressure-cooks the city down to its dense, searing essentials." Village Voice Literary Supplement
Review:
"Price propels each scene with vivid dialog that crackles with realism." Playboy
Review:
"A vital and bold novel rich in unexpected pleasure, with Price generally avoiding melodrama, sentimentality, and stereotype to portray a harsh world with clear-eyed compassion." Kirkus Reviews
Review:
"Page after page explodes with prose as vivid as kinetic art." Chicago Tribune
Review:
"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
Review:
"Triumphant...an astounding accomplishment." Philadelphia Inquirer
