Book excerpt: In this knockout standalone crime novel from the acclaimed author of the Harlem Detectives series, a white cop’s murderous outburst leads to a pulse-pounding chase to silence a witness A few days after Christmas, a white cop in New York is as drunk as he’s ever been. And he’s convinced his car has been stolen. He believes the thieves are the Black workers at a luncheonette on 37th and Fifth avenue, and when he staggers in, his .32 caliber goes off. But who would believe it was an accident? Now, two men are dead, and a witness has gotten away. What follows is a heart-stopping chase of epic proportions. A master of tension and a deft chronicler of racism in post-war America, Himes delivers here one of his most compelling, dramatic novels of suspense.
