“The Cut” is the series kickoff that introduces Spero Lucas, a brand new George Pelecanos creation. Spero is a fit, athletic 29-year-old ex-Marine who roams Washington and its environs. He works as a freelance retriever of stolen property, taking a 40 percent cut on the value of anything he finds.

My favourite time was just before dawn, driving to work on 16th Street in my gold Camaro, the windows down, smoking a Marlboro Menthol, listening to the glorious music coming loud from my Pioneer 8-track deck and speakers: Springsteen’s Born to Run, Mayfield’s Super Fly, Al Green’s Call Me, Bowie’s Station to Station. The tunes made movies in my head and jacked up my imagination. I had a crazy idea that I might write stories some day, perhaps make films.

Alors allons-y pour Superfly
