About this title

From the Publisher:

Detroit -- Murder City -- is the right place to find a corpse. This time the body is "Books" Meldrim, pimp, snitch, and longtime denizen of The Library Bar. The finder is Grootka, retired cop, perpetual grouch,. and a department legend for his bad habits and tough detective work.

Detective Sargeant "Fang" Mulheisen isn't sure whether or not to believe Grootka's crackpot theory that the killing is tied to the 1950's rape and murder of a pretty teen. But Mulheisen has two new homicides and an attempted assassination on his hands. He doesn't have time for old cops or old crimes . . . until Grootka straps on an ancient .45 and returns to Detroit's twisted back allies to teach a younger cop a chilling truth: what goes around comes around. It only stops with your bullet or your life.
