reviewed on + 1217 more book reviews


Paris Minton is minding his own business -- a small used-bookstore of which he is the proud proprietor -- when a beautiful woman walks in and asks a few questions. Before he knows it, he's been beaten up, slept with, shot at, robbed, and his bookstore has been burnt to the ground. In LA in the 1950s there aren't too many people a black man can turn to for help. He's in so much trouble he has no choice but to get his friend Fearless Jones out of jail for support.

and then things start to go really bad.
