August Snow, an ex-police detective who was fired from the Detroit PD, brought down the entire corrupt department and the mayor with a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. The son of an African American cop and a Mexican American painter, August Snow is most at home in Detroit's Mexicantown neighborhood, where he grew up - the neighborhood he's now returned to and hopes to revitalize with his settlement money of $12 million. The trouble is August has old enemies with scores to settle.

When an old acquaintance, finance magnate Eleanore Paget, hears August is back in town, she tries to hire him to investigate suspicious goings-on at her investment bank. August declines - detective work is no longer his beat. When Eleanore is found dead the next day of an apparent suicide, August doesn't buy it for a minute. His search for her killer will drag him into a rat's nest of Detroit's most dangerous criminals.

Agree with one reviewer who said this read like a movie. Which is what bothered me through much of it. That aside; found it reasonably good, with very likable characters being my favorite part. Not sure yet if am going on with series.

interesting.

What a great story, although I would have rather that August had a little less angst! So much loss ! Made his character much too emotionally burdened at times. Looking forward to Book #2. Maybe his personal life gets better!

Exceptional Read!

Good story but slow. Narration was good. I will listen to the next book in the series before I decide to go beyond that.

A little slow

From the description of this book, I couldn't tell where or when the setting was and I procrastinated reading it thinking it was a historical crime novel.
It is modern day Detroit, with a very likable mixed-race PI who used to work for the police department, then got a big settlement from the city so he doesn't have to work (or take crap from anyone). He is as dedicated to his community as he is to solving the crime. The book is smart, well-written, and wrapped up all loose ends. I can't wait to read the next August Snow book.

Better than the description
