Publisher: Point Blank Press Format: Trade Paperback Publisher Description: NYPD cop Filomena Buscarsela has pretty much seen it all in her five years on the force. But after she recognizes the victim of a fatal toxic leak, her instincts tell her that something is not what it seems to be. From her run-down Spanish Harlem apartment to the way-out clubs of the Lower East Side, Filomena’s investigation leads her to suspect that a group of high-powered corporate executives has turned to murder as a way to protect its bottom line. 23 SHADES OF BLACK is K. j. a. Wishnia’s first novel featuring Filomena Buscarsela. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune called this “One of the most distinctive series in mystery fiction..” “Filomena Buscarsela [is] a Latina heroine with the epic appeal of Everywoman. . . . The world’s a mess, but Filomena’s still fighting. It’s that perspective that sets Wishnia apart—there’s nothing else out there remotely like his books.” --Rocky Mountain News “From page-turning thriller to mystery story to social investigation, 23 SHADES OF BLACK works on all levels. It’s clear from the start that K.j.a Wishnia is charting a unique path in crime fiction. Sign me up for the full ride!” -- Michael Connelly, author of LOST LIGHT "Packed with enough mayhem and atmosphere for two novels." -- Booklist "It's one hell of a fine book and Filomena is a cool, tough, troubled cop... This is good stuff, political, tough, biting, gutsy, even sensitive." -- Hardboiled Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days. Retail price: $15.95 |
