**A taut police thriller featuring detective “Fang” Mulheisen—from a writer hailed as ****“the best-kept secret of hard-boiled crime fiction connoisseurs” (*The New York Times Book Review*).**
When a cop guns down an intruder during a break-in, it seems like another case of a bad guy meeting a bad end—until the owner of the garage being burgled is revealed to be Jerry Vanni, a young man whose trucking empire is branching out into juke boxes and vending machines.
Detroit’s Det. Sgt. “Fang” Mulheisen knows that Vanni’s businesses are normally controlled by the mob—and when a pair of gunmen walks into a bar and fills one of Vanni’s jukes with lead, Mulheisen is sure there’s more trouble on the way.
His investigation leads him into an ever-growing criminal enterprise involving gun-smuggling Cubans, a million-dollar heist, and a gorgeous woman mixed up with both. It’s the kind of trouble that can get a good cop killed . . .
“Few color the police procedural with such bluesy riffs—or make it jump—the way Jackson does.” —*Detroit Free Press*
