Product Description

From the Author

Welcome to the world of political noir.
Contrary to wht has been reported, Black Heat is not a conventional crime or mystery novel. It is a political noir or politique noir. It is about the seamy side of post-civil rights America during America's postmodern era, where almost everything is a racket and can be reduced to the profit motive. It notes the deals that the black elite has made with the white overclass. It's about the niggerati and Pet Negroes. It's about a woman of her times who has to confront the corruption that has enmeshed all aspects of American society. It's about the white elite having the black elite shill for their policies and black complicity with the forces that are arrayed against. It's about funk and the new revolution that is slowly bubbling up from the earth. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Politique Noir?--Just Plain Excellent, 12 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Heat (Paperback)
This refreshing mystery, described by the author as a politcal noir, was very surprising and refreshing. This mystery excited me intelligently. The herione of the book was one of the most strongest black women and I would love to read a series about her. Kelly left a huge opening for a continued story. He also paints vivid pictures of his villians and the historical aspect further inticed me.
