Wiley moves south from his three tales of Chicago shamus JoeKozmarski (A Bad Night’s Sleep,?2011,etc.) to Florida, where an even less heroic sleuth faces an even seamiermystery.
Twenty-five years ago, Belinda Mabry was William "BB"Byrd’s first love. Now his friend Lt. Detective Daniel Turner of theJacksonville Police wants him to identify her body. It’s Belinda all right,tied neck and heels, shrouded in plastic and dumped in a pile of garbage. Andshe’s not the only victim on Daniel’s docket. Streetwalkers Tonya Richmond(black) and Ashley Littleton (white) have already been killed in much the sameway. But Belinda’s the one BB cares about, and soon he’s ringing all the wrongdoorbells, meeting all the wrong people?especially Belinda’s no-good brother,Bobby, and her son, Terrence Stilman?and talking himself into a world oftrouble. Luckily, he can call on tough, elderly hireling Charles Tuckerwhenever he needs help: “He fixed what needed fixing. He broke what neededbreaking.” Even though BB, unlike Belinda, is white, Wiley echoes WalterMosley’s Easy Rawlins books in both his storytelling and his first-personvoice?pared down, digressive and frankly revealing. As BB works to connect themurders to the accidental death of a good-time Jamaican girl in the middle ofan experiment in erotic asphyxia, the plot, fueled by a steadily rising bodycount, boils furiously until it reaches a climax that’s both utterlypredictable and powerfully unnerving.
Repeated doses of strong sexual violence make this onedefinitely not for the kiddies. First of a series, though you have to wonderwho’s left in Jacksonville for the sequels.
