In Peter Blauner's Edgar Award-winning first novel, a New York probation officer locks horns with a deadly young drug dealer
As a probation officer in a city plagued by drugs, murders, and corruption, Steven Baum supervises marginal criminals--not dangerous enough for prison, but too damaged to go totally free.
