Synopsis

23 Shades of Black's Filomena Buscarsela returns, having traded in her uniform for the trials of single motherhood. She may have left the department, but Filomena's passion for justice burns as hot as ever. When the owner of her neighbourhood newsstand is murdered - just another """"ethnic"""" crime that will probably go unsolved and unavenged - Filomena doesn't need much convincing to step in. Secretly partnered with a rookie cop, she hits the streets to smoke out the trigger-happy punks who ended an innocent life as callously as if they were blowing out a match.

Review

"Nonstop activity, wry humor, mordant characterizations, and a solid dollop of police procedure make this a hugely appealing follow-up to 23 Shades of Black." --Library Journal

"We liked it in 1999, and we still like it. Social issues may have changed slightly, but Wishnia's tone is timely, his voices authentic, and his pacing superb." --Teresa L. Jacobsen, Library Journal

"Wishnia's world is like a New York subway train--fast, loud, dirty, and dangerous--but it's well worth the ride with Filomena Buscarsela in the driver's seat. A hard-edged story gracefully told." --Booklist

"Great fun . . . Fil is a hyperbolic character, spewing enough acerbic opinions to fill half a dozen average mysteries. A spirited sequel." --Publishers Weekly
