A Tamara Hayle Mystery.
Newark isn't the neighbourhood it used to be, even in policewoman-turned-PI Tamara Hayle's short lifetime. Kids young enough to be her sons robbing at gunpoint, drugs and knives on every street corner.
So when an old friend of her brother is murdered and Tamara takes on the investigation, she feels the violence has reached her own doorstep. Even more so when the trail leads to the home of a man she trusts and admires - Gus Lennox, the most respected black officer on the Newark force, now retired.
But as Tamara picks up her investigation from the gossip at Jan's Beauty Biscuit, she realises that the complex web around Shawn Raymond's shady life and death seems to stretch over the whole city, from the dark backstreets to the very smartest porches uptown . . .
