Review
Jaded private eye Erwin James's interest in justice in rekindled when the daughter of a prominent black MP is murdered. Was a sinister right wing party involved or was it the university lecturer with whom she was having an affair - or perhaps her Nation of Islam lover.A gripping thriller set in London's underworld by one of Britain's very best black writers. Highly recommended.
