About this title

Review:

Haywood returns to his slick black detective character Aaron Gunner for the first time since You Can Die Trying, and it's good to be back cruising the streets of Los Angeles in Gunner's bright red Cobra. Gunner himself is fueled largely by anger, and this story of abused women and the people who make a living from their troubles gives him ample reason for rage.

About the Author:
