Description
Two former 1960s radicals, now wealthy brothers, become targets when a beautiful and treacherous ex-convict resurfaces with an extortion scheme rooted in their turbulent past. Pursuing her is a Detroit bomb-disposal detective, whose investigation draws a volatile cast of hustlers, criminals, and violent opportunists into a dangerous conspiracy. Moving from the brightness of Florida to the colder, darker streets of Detroit, the novel explores betrayal, greed, the afterlife of political idealism, and the blurred line between radicalism and self-interest. With razor-sharp dialogue, dark humor, and vividly drawn characters, it showcases the brisk, unsentimental style of a master of American crime fiction.
