"One
of
the
unsung
legends
of
crime
fiction"
(Chicago
Tribune),
Kent
Anderson,
returns
after
two
decades
with
this
dazzling
novel
about
justice,
character
and
fate,
set
against
the
backdrop
of
an
American
city
at
war
with
itself.
Oakland,
California,
1983:
a
city
churning
with
violent
crime
and
racial
conflict.
Officer
Hanson,
a
Vietnam
veteran,
has
abandoned
academia
for
the
life-and-death
clarity
of
police
work,
a
way
to
live
with
the
demons
that
followed
him
home
from
the
war.
But
Hanson
knows
that
justice
requires
more
than
simply
enforcing
the
penal
code.
He
believes
in
becoming
a
part
of
the
community
he
serves--which
is
why,
unlike
most
officers,
he
chooses
to
live
in
the
same
town
where
he
works.
This
strategy
serves
him
well...to
a
point.
He
forges
a
precarious
friendship
with
Felix
Maxwell,
the
drug
king
of
East
Oakland,
based
on
their
shared
sense
of
fairness
and
honor.
He
falls
in
love
with
Libya
the
moment
he
sees
her,
a
confident
and
outspoken
black
woman.
He
is
befriended
by
Weegee,
a
streetwise
eleven-year-old
who
is
primed
to
become
a
dope
dealer.
Every
day,
every
shift,
tests
a
cop's
boundaries
between
the
man
he
wants
to
be
and
the
officer
of
the
law
he's
required
to
be.
At
last
an
off-duty
shooting
forces
Hanson
to
finally
face
who
he
is,
and
which
side
of
the
law
he
belongs
on.

Recenzii
"Green
Sunsucceeds
on
so
many
levels,
it's
hard
to
keep
count.
.

Hanson
is
a
fascinating
and
memorable
character,
but
the
real
star
ofGreen
Sunis
Anderson's
writing.
.
.
.
He's
a
compassionate
writer
who
never
wastes
a
single
word.
.
.
.
Anderson
is
adept
at
finding
a
terrible
kind
of
beauty
in
the
worst
circumstances,
which
makesGreen
Sundifficult
to
put
down
even
when
it's
emotionally
painful
to
keep
reading.
Above
all,
it's
a
stunning
meditation
on
power,
violence
and
the
intractability
of
pain,
which
Anderson
seems
to
understand
all
too
well."—Michael
Schaub,NPR
"Quietly staggering . . . Kent Anderson is one of the unsung legends of crime fiction."—Lloyd Sachs,Chicago Tribune
"Anderson's writing is reminiscent of that of James Lee Burke, blending pathos, violence, and corruption with long-shot hope and glimpses of natural wonder. . . . Anderson's lean but limber style makes this novel a suitable companion for just about anyone."—Erik Spanberg,Christian Science Monitor
"Kent Anderson serves up the best of what crime fiction can do inGreen Sun, showing us a slice of the world that stands for the whole wide world, and giving us Officer Hanson, whose perseverance and bedrock fairness and understanding of human frailty make him a hero for all places and times. The Hanson Trilogy should not be a secret. It's the best of the best in American storytelling today."—Michael Connelly
"Green Suntells the unvarnished truth about what it is to be a cop in modern day America. I can give a suspense novel no higher compliment."
—James Patterson
"Deeply moving.... Anderson's model of community policing couldn't be more timely."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Anderson doesn't publish much, but when he does, it's something to remember. . . . It is perhaps the perfect time for an honest, realistic, unflinching portrayal of a good cop, and Anderson delivers just that."—Booklist (starred review)
"Kent Anderson has crafted a literary miracle here. We're transported to 'Nam and circa-'80 Oakland, reimagined as Hell, seen through the eyes of a crusading cop unique in the annals of police literature. This jazzy--and jazz influenced--novel is like the best of early Joseph Wambaugh. In Oaklandese: If I'm lyin', I'm flyin'!"—James Ellroy
"Kent Anderson immediately pulls you into his taut, authentic depiction of a cop's life in early-80s Oakland.Green Sunis crime fiction at its best: smart, unflinching, and, ultimately, compassionate."—Alafair Burke
"[Anderson] imbues his protagonist with a solid dose of humanity. If I were a cop, Hanson would be on my short list for role models."—BookPage
"Kent Anderson is thereal deal,with a past to prove it. AndGreen Sunshows it, with writing that pours across the page like a dark storm, but also shines, and stays with you long after you put it down."—David Swinson

"Kent
Anderson
is
the
finest
portrayer
of
the
cop
novel,
elevating
the
genre
to
the
highest
literary
form.
With
his
third
novel,Green
Sun,
he
completes
a
trilogy
that
would
sit
effortlessly
alongside
the
masters,
Cormac
McCarthy
and
James
Lee
Burke.
This
is
Ellroy
for
a
whole
new
generation.
I
am
green
with
admirable
envy."
