Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>African-American LAPD homicide detective Charlotte Justice saves Dr. Lance Mitchell during a violent confrontation with police when he's mistaken for a car thief. However, the body of a former radical who murdered Charlotte's husband and baby girl years ago is found nearby--with the doctor's wallet beneath it. Defying her superiors, Charlotte sets out to uncover the twisted truth connecting the two men. (July)<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Meet Detective Charlotte Justice, a black woman in the very white, very male, and sometimes very racist Los Angeles Police Department. The time is 48 hours into the epochal L.A. riots and she and her fellow officers are exhausted. She saves the curfew-breaking black doctor Lance Mitchell from a potentially lethal beating from some white officers--only to discover nearby the body of one-time radical Cinque Lewis, a thug who years before had murdered her husband and young daughter. Was it a random shooting or was Mitchell responsible? And what had brought Lewis back to a city he'd long since fled?</p><p>Charlotte's quest for the truth behind Cinque's death will set her at odds with the LAPD hierarchy, plunge her into the intricacies of everything from L.A.'s gang-banging politics to its black blue-bloods, and lead her into deep emotional waters with Mitchell's partner (and her old flame), Dr. Aubrey Scott.</p><p>In Charlotte Justice, Paula L. Woods has created a tough, tart, but also vulnerable heroine sure to draw comparisons to such classic figures as Easy Rawlins and Kinsey Milhone, but a true original as well.</p><p>Winner of the Macavity Award for Best First Mystery Novel from Mystery Readers International.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Woods puts an African-American spin on Sara Paretsky's trademarks (the broad canvas filled with big events, the tough-as-the-boys heroine, the gimlet eye for urban corruption) in this important debut.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
