He's gone back to teaching in an inner-city high school. His fiancée, Fidelma Muldoon, has also moved to New York, and Danny gives in to Fidelma's wish to attend her first St. Patrick's Day parade. As luck would have it, the day proves far more intolerable than Danny expected from just the crowds of drunken revelers when the highly controversial grand marshal, Fintan Conway, dies on the street only yards from Danny and Fidelma! Once the police have determined that the man was murdered, Fidelma insists that Danny get involved since the man blamed for the killing is none other than their friend from Ireland, Brendan Grady. As Danny begins the search for the real murderer, he is followed and chased around the city by people in a Mercedes, the detective on the case ridicules Danny's efforts, and Brendan won't tell him anything. Fintan Conway's background story leads him deep into the history of the parade, the Irish in New York City, and the grand marshal's own peculiar newspaper columns. Ultimately, Danny's investigation leads him back to his own neighborhood, and a woman he once loved, and he has to question where his true loyalties lie: with his new friend or his older past.

Old Man Spears was a quiet, regular attendee at the Abyssinia Barber Shop, a man nobody paid much attention to until the day he dropped dead, while the other regulars - including Ivan Monk - sat around playin' the dozens and cracking jokes on one another. It turns out Spears played in the famed Negro Baseball Leagues along with Monk's cousin, Kennesaw Riles, who had been ostracized by the family for his questionable testimony, which put a political firebrand in a southern prison more than 25 years before. Then Riles dies, but not from natural causes. As Monk becomes immersed in finding out who murdered his cousin, his mother is brutally attacked, and the case turns personal. Events take him to the Mississippi Delta to solve these crimes. There Monk hunts for a killer and crosses paths with the remnants of the racist Southern Citizens League - while the wind wails Charlie Patton's "Killin' Blues," a mythical lost recording whose lyrics haunt the case. In his fourth Ivan Monk mystery, Gary Phillips again gives the reader a terse story filled with twists, turns, quixotic characters and the pounding tempo of Los Angeles, combined with the slower tempo of the South, where only the wicked know the answers in the deadly magnolia nights.

"Lizbet Lange is an ex-truckstop waitress who married a rich old man and inherited his fortune. Workmen installing a pool next to her mansion uncover a skeleton, the remains of a murdered undercover police officer named Charlie Bilbo. The disturbance causes Charlie's ghost to return and ask Lizbet to solve his murder. Charlie's son and ex-wife appear shortly thereafter with clues and suspicious behavior. Lizbet, Charlie's ghost, and his son solve the murder, but only after they dig into a blood-soaked drug deal from the late 1960s. Thrasher's second mystery suffers a bit from some occasionally cloying characters, but this shortcoming is offset by an original plot, effective use of a ghost as a character, and an intriguing juxtaposition of contemporary and 1960s society, nicely linked by well-placed flashbacks."---Booklist.
