About Me


"It is the summer of 1967 in Newark, NJ and the temperature is rising in the predominantly black Central Ward as racial tensions worsen. While riots rage on the streets outside his station, Detective Martin Emmett struggles to do his job surrounded by corruption and indifference. Block does a superb job of giving (Emmett) flesh and bone in gritty, historically rich narrative. Many cuts above the typical police procedural." -Kirkus
"Evocative...(a) vivid portrayal of a city where racial tensions have escalated from a steady simmer to a raging boil." – Booklist"A flawless historical backdrop." – Publishers Weekly
