The Washington Post has compared Glenville Lovellâs novels to âworks by Morrison and Nabokov.â The New York Times praised his âsharp eye for the extraordinary.â Now he turns to crime fiction with a tale that âwill keep readers guessing until the endâ (Tananarive Due, author of My Soul to Keep).
Â
Thereâs no love lost between the NYPD and black ex-cop Blades Overstreet since a suspicious bust nearly cost Blades his life. It didnât kill him, and it didnât kill his conscience either. Thatâs why heâs agreed to help an actress named Precious find her missing father.
Â
Simple? Nothing as beautiful as Precious is ever simpleâespecially once Bladesâs investigation leads to the discovery of a murdered FBI agent. Framed for the killing, pursued by the FBI, a pariah to his former NYPD âbrothers,â Blades is in deep, on the run, and winding his way through New Yorkâs Caribbean community to find the real killer before heâs forced to take the rap . . . or worse.
