  • "A suspense novel about a policeman involved in the investigation of a teenager's murder."@en
  • "When the body of a local teenager is found in a community garden, homicide detective Gus Ramone relives intense memories of an unsolved case he worked twenty years earlier. Suspecting a connection, he reunites with two other law enforcement officers, Dan Holiday and legendary detective T.C. Cooke to finish the work that has haunted them all for years."@en
  • "Cuando el cuerpo de un adolescente aparece en un jardín comunitario de Washington, el detective Gus Ramone revive un caso en el que trabajó veinte años atrás. Siendo novatos, Ramone y Dan Holiday ayudaron al legendario detective Cook en la investigación de los asesinatos de tres adolescentes que aparecieron muertos en parques de la ciudad. Jamás atraparon al asesino, al que apodaron el Jardinero Nocturno. Después de aquello, Holiday abandonó la policía y ahora trabaja de chófer y guardaespaldas. Cook se retiró, pero tampoco ha podido olvidar el caso del Jarinero Nocturno. Ramone es el único que sigue en la policía, en la brigada de Homicidios. Ahora, este nuevo asesinato los reunirá en torno a un propósito común. Los remordimientos, la rabia y el sentido del deber que en otro tiempo les unieron resurgen con fuerza cuando se lanzan a poner cerco al monstruo que ha estado acechando sus pesadillas. Tal vez ahora consigan atrapar al Jardinero Nocturno. -- p. [4] of cover."
  • "En 2005 à Washington, après la mort par balle du jeune Asa, trois anciens collègues refont équipe. Dans les années 1980, T.C. Cook, Gus Ramones, et Dan Holiday avaient enquêté en vain sur le tueur au palindrome, tueur qui pourrait être à l'origine du meurtre d'Asa. Barry Award 2007 du meilleur roman policier."
  • "In 1985, the body of a 14-year-old girl turns up in a Washington, D.C., park, the latest in a series of murders by a killer the media dub "The Night Gardener." T.C. Cook, the aging detective on the case, works with a quiet, almost monomaniacal, focus. Also involved are two young uniformed cops, Gus Ramone, who's diligent, conscientious and unimpressed by heroics, and Dan "Doc" Holiday, an adrenaline junkie who's decidedly less straight. Fast forward 20 years. Detective Ramone, now married with kids of his own, investigates the murder of one of his teenage son's friends. The homicide closely resembles the earlier unsolved Night Gardener murders. Holiday, now an alcoholic chauffeur and bodyguard, follows the case on his own and tracks down Cook, long retired but still obsessed with the original murders. While the three work together toward a suspenseful ending, Pelecanos emphasizes the fallacy of "solving" a murder and explores the ripple effects of violent crime on society."

  • "Gus Ramone is "good police," a former Internal Affairs investigator now working homicide for the city's Violent Crime branch. His new case involves the death of a local teenager named Asa whose body has been found in a local community garden. The murder unearths intense memories of a case Ramone worked as a patrol cop twenty years earlier, when he and his partner, Dan "Doc" Holiday, assisted a legendary detective named T.C. Cook. The series of murders, all involving local teenage victims, was never solved. In the years since, Holiday has left the force under a cloud of morals charges, and now finds work as a bodyguard and driver. Cook has retired, but he has never stopped agonizing about the "Night Gardener" killings. The new case draws the three men together on a grim mission to finish the work that has haunted them for years. All the love, regret, and anger that once burned between them comes rushing back, and old ghosts walk once more as the men try to lay to rest the monster who has stalked their dreams."@en

  • "The discovery of a murdered teen in a community garden reminds homicide detective Gus Ramone of an unsolved case he worked as a rookie twenty years earlier, and he enlists his now-retired mentor T.C. Cook, and his former partner Dan Holiday, who has since been disgraced as a cop, in an effort to find a killer they dubbed the Night Gardener and finally bring him to justice."
  • "Twenty years ago, two young cops watched T.C. Cooke, a master detective, work a murder scene in a ragged community garden in a violent D.C. neighborhood. Today, in the same garden, a killer has left a body with an M.O. that the three men recognize fast. Still haunted by the case they never solved, all three men come together again, hitting the new murder with a desperate, dangerous fervor. For on this hard, bloodstained soil, they have what no one ever gets: the seeds of a second chance ..."@en
