the Herodotus Award For Best Historical Mystery Private
Investigator Smokey Dalton works for Memphis, Tennessee's black
community. He has almost no interaction with the white hierarchy,
even though they exist only blocks away. So he's surprised the day

has sought him out because he's a beneficiary in her mother's will,
and Laura wants to know why. So does Smokey. He's never heard of
the Hathaways, but his search will take him on a journey that will
change everything he's ever known. Set against the backdrop of the
strike and protests that will end with Dr. Martin Luther King's

Dalton's no knock-off... -Entertainment Weekly
