Dodgers is the story of a young LA gang member named East, who is sent by his uncle along with some other teenage boys—including East's hothead younger brother—to kill a key witness hiding out in Wisconsin. The journey takes East out of a city he's never left and into an America that is entirely alien to him, ultimately forcing him to grapple with his place in the world and decide what kind of man he wants to become. Written in stark and unforgettable prose and featuring an array of surprising and memorable characters rendered with empathy and wit, Dodgers heralds the arrival of a major new voice in American fiction. Dodgers won the LA Times Book Prize for Best Mystery/Thriller, the CWA Goldsboro Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel of the Year, the CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger for Best Debut Crime Novel, and the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award.
