August Snow is an ex-police detective who was fired from the Detroit police department. He was a whistle-blower in a scandal that involved a corrupt police department and the mayor. August settled for $12 million and left town for a year. When August—who is half African American and half Mexican—returns to Detroit, he settles in his old neighborhood, Mexicantown. What follows is murder, lots of dead bodies, and assassins. This is a fast-paced debut crime novel with well-written characters and unexpected plot twists. I’m hoping this will be the first in a new series.
