| Summary |
"In 1976, Vietnam veteran Dominique Broddie is one of Detroit’s newest detectives who must solve a case that hits too close to home. Emotionally closed off, after surviving the horrors of war, Broddie must deal with his demons from the past while facing adversity and even racism as an African American trying to rise through the ranks in the city’s police department. When the son of Reverend Wallace Brown goes missing, Dominique is assigned to the case. Believing that the boy has simply run away, he doesn’t take the case seriously, despite the reverend’s shady past, and instead focuses on solving a high-profile murder that he hopes will advance his career. Everything changes when his own daughter goes missing. Broddie suspects that there might be a link between the two disappearances and, with time running out, he must do whatever it takes to bring both children home. This gripping detective mystery gives readers a direct insight into one of America’s once great cities from the perspective of a troubled man as he witnesses its downfall." -- Amazon. |
