  • The
  • explosive
  • debut
  • novel
  • featuring
  • hard-nosed
  • cop
  • “Fang”
  • Mulheisen—from
  • an
  • author
  • who
  • “stands
  • right
  • up
  • there
  • with
  • the
  • best
  • chroniclers
  • of
  • urban
  • crime”
  • (The
  • New
  • York
  • Times).The
  • city
  • of
  • Detroit
  • doesn’t
  • have
  • many
  • places
  • anyone
  • would
  • exactly
  • call
  • “nice.”
  • But
  • the
  • exclusive
  • enclave
  • of
  • Indian
  • Village
  • is
  • an
  • oasis
  • of
  • calm
  • surrounded
  • by
  • urban
  • blight.
  • At
  • least
  • until
  • a
  • beautiful
  • young
  • heiress
  • is
  • murdered
  • during
  • a
  • home
  • robbery
  • gone
  • horribly
  • wrong
  • .
  • .
  • .
  • if
  • that
  • really
  • is
  • what
  • happened.Detroit’s
  • Det.
  • Sgt.“Fang”
  • Mulheisen
  • isn’t
  • so
  • sure.
  • The
  • coincidences
  • of
  • the
  • case
  • are
  • just
  • a
  • bit
  • too
  • coincidental,
  • the
  • ruthlessness
  • of
  • the
  • crime
  • goes
  • way
  • beyond
  • a
  • punk
  • thief
  • looking
  • for
  • a
  • quick
  • score,
  • and
  • the
  • victim’s
  • big-banker
  • husband
  • may
  • owe
  • some
  • very
  • bad
  • people
  • more
  • than
  • just
  • money.
  • What
  • they
  • want
  • is
  • blood.
  • And
  • Mulheisen
  • may
  • be
  • the
  • only
  • man
  • who
  • can
  • keep
  • them
  • from
  • getting
  • it.With
  • gritty
  • detail,
  • whip-smart
  • dialogue,
  • and
  • street-level
  • action,
  • “the
  • elaboration
  • of
  • the
  • plot
  • and
  • the
  • quality
  • of
  • the
  • writing
  • put
  • The
  • Diehard
  • pretty
  • close
  • to
  • the
  • top
  • of
  • its
  • class”
  • (The
  • New
  • York
  • Times
  • Book Review).
