Leonid McGill's spent a lifetime building up his reputation in the New York investigative scene. His seemingly infallible instinct and inside knowledge of the crime world make him the ideal man to help when Phillip Worry comes knocking. Phillip "Catfish" Worry is a 92-year-old Mississippi bluesman who needs Leonid's help with a simple task: Deliver a letter revealing the black lineage of a wealthy heiress and her corrupt father. Unsurprisingly, the opportunity to do a simple favor while shocking the prevailing elite is too much for Leonid to resist.

How can Leonid McGill say no to the beautiful young woman who walks into his office with a stack of cash? She's an artist, she tells him, who's escaped from poverty via marriage to a rich collector who keeps her on a stipend. But she says she fears for her life, and needs Leonid's help. Though Leonid knows better than to believe every word, this isn't a job he can afford to turn away, even as he senses that - if his family's misadventures don't kill him first - sorting out the woman's crooked tale will bring him straight to death's door.

Seven years ago, Zella Grisham came home to find her man, Harry Tangelo, in bed with her friend. The weekend before, $6.8 million had been stolen from Rutgers Assurance Corp., whose offices are across the street from where Zella worked. Zella didn't remember shooting Harry, but she didn't deny it either. The district attorney was inclined to call it temporary insanity - until the police found $80,000 from the Rutgers heist hidden in her storage space. For reasons of his own, Leonid McGill is convinced of Zella's innocence. But as he begins his investigation, his life begins to unravel.

His name is etched on the door of his Manhattan office: LEONID McGILL , PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. It's a name that takes a little explaining, but he's used to it. Ex-boxer, hard drinker, in a business that trades mostly in cash and favors: McGill's an old-school P.I. working a city that's gotten fancy all around him. Fancy or not, he has always managed to get by - keep a roof over the head of his wife and kids, and still manage a little fun on the side - mostly because he's never been above taking a shady job for a quick buck.

Publisher's Summary
Den 53-årige afroamerikanske newyorker Leonid McGill er en detektiv af den gamle skole. Forførende, brutal og ikke bly for at påtage sig lyssky opgaver for hurtige penge. Han er dog nået til et punkt i sit liv, hvor han forsøger at gøre op med sin småkriminelle fortid og komme på ret spor efter et helt liv i skyggen. Det viser sig at være vanskeligere end først antaget. Da han får til opgave at opspore fire unge mænd alene ud fra deres street names, stiller han ingen spørgsmål, men da deres lig efterfølgende begynder at dukke op et for et, ser han sig pludselig nødsaget til at tage stilling til en by, der ikke er, hvad den giver sig ud for at være. Udadtil har byen forandret sig, og McGill har søgt at følge med, men brutaliteten og magtarrogancen lurer fortsat i byen bag byen...
