Description
Loren D. Estleman-critically acclaimed author of the Amos Walker mysteries, and of Bloody Season, Peeper, and Whiskey River, three-time winner of the prestigious Shamus Award-delivers the second novel in his grand cycle of crime fiction, The Detroit Trilogy: Rooted in America's recent, bloody past, this is a smash-and-burn thriller of mob warfare and race riots, of an era when cars had muscle, every two-bit gun jockey owned a piece of the streets he cruised, and an angry race crowded into the city's ghettos and clawed for recognition.
A generation after Whiskey River Detroit is a different place. It's 1966, and Detroit has reached its peak. America throbs to the throaty rumble of Motor City's sweet road-eating machines. It'll never be this good again, and Big Auto is fighting to change every step of the way. Threatened by the specter of safety legislation, the city's biggest manufacturer hires ex-cop Rick Amery to go undercover and put the brakes on creeping consumer advocacy. Rick loves cars more than he ever loved any woman. When Big Auto hired him, they hired a true believer: his god is horsepower and his house of worship is the open road.
