The Washington Post has compared Glenville Lovellโs novels to โworks by Morrison and Nabokov.โ The New York Times praised his โsharp eye for the extraordinary.โ Now he turns to crime fiction with a tale that โwill keep readers guessing until the endโ (Tananarive Due, author of My Soul to Keep).
ย
Thereโs no love lost between the NYPD and black ex-cop Blades Overstreet since a suspicious bust nearly cost Blades his life. It didnโt kill him, and it didnโt kill his conscience either. Thatโs why heโs agreed to help an actress named Precious find her missing father.

Simple? Nothing as beautiful as Precious is ever simpleโespecially once Bladesโs investigation leads to the discovery of a murdered FBI agent. Framed for the killing, pursued by the FBI, a pariah to his former NYPD โbrothers,โ Blades is in deep, on the run, and winding his way through New Yorkโs Caribbean community to find the real killer before heโs forced to take the rap . . . or worse.
