This is another Detroit tale laced with secrets and deception. A 12-year-old girl is the desperate focus of three men-John, a dedicated young teacher, Charlie, a small-time private detective, and Steven, a major narcotics importer. Their lives collide as John becomes next to hopeless about the future of his eighth-grade youngsters who are street dealers in the city's vicious drug wars. When John makes a shocking move to save his students, Steven's young daughter goes missing, and Charlie, hired to find her, confronts a moral dilemma that will change all their lives. Tightly plotted and action packed, this is a powerful tale of ghetto crime with a suspenseful and surprising turnabout. At the center of its furious final chapters is the girl kidnapped in a bizarre scheme so unlikely that it just might work. Book 2 of The detroit im dyin Trilogy: If you like Elmore Leonard, you'll love this series.
"LoCicero's knowledge of his city and the people that live there are remarkable. The dying city in Michigan is alive on the pages of his evolving trilogy."
--Patrick, Amazon Reviewer
"This is a powerful read that handles sensitive and important issues very well without letting down those readers who came for a good crime story. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series."
