Book Description
Black private eye Ivan Monk’s search for a connection between three Black men murdered in Los Angeles leads to the unraveling of a white supremacist conspiracy that spans the West Coast. The mystery series that launched Gary Phillips's career. Robert “Scatterboy” Williams is a small-time hustler selling bogus Cartier watches in Pacific Shores, a port city south of Los Angeles. One day, he’s gunned down in the street, seemingly at random. Then drug dealer Ronny Aaron is shot and killed leaving a liquor store. Shortly thereafter, college student Jimmy Henderson is rendered comatose after two bullets to his body. The three victims have nothing in common save the neighborhood where they were shot—and the color of their skin. The police categorize Scatterboy’s murder as business as usual. But his girlfriend convinces private eye Ivan Monk to find the killer. What looks like three unrelated shootings of Black men in Southern California will put Monk on a tortuous trail unraveling a larger nefarious plan: the rise of an extremist demagogue.

Book Description
The book describes the movement by African American authors from slave narratives and antebellum newspapers into fiction writing, and the subsequent developments of black genre fiction through the present. It analyzes works by modern African American mystery writers, focusing on sleuths, the social locations of crime, victims and offenders, the notion of "doing justice," and the role of African American cultural vernacular in mystery fiction. A final section focuses on readers and reading, examining African American mystery writers' access to the marketplace and the issue of the "double audience" raised by earlier writers. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Book Description
Abomination! Caleb Baker is not alive. He's been twisted, damned, and dumped near the remote desert town of Perdition. He struggles for answers to his new undead state while caught between evil agents who want to recruit him, a holy knighthood vowed to destroy those like him, and a town full of very odd residents who don't trust anyone or anything strange. Despite the evil growing within him, Caleb soon finds himself in an unusual alliance with a beautiful knight and her priestly brother-a joint venture to discover the truth about strange happenings in and around Perdition. The three aren't prepared for the depth of malevolence at the root of the truth-truth that brings grave danger to Caleb's soul and the whole of humankind. Caleb stands on the brink of damnation and redemption, hopelessness and hope, and subjection and free will. Which way will he fall?
