Gar Anthony Haywood recommends
They Can't Take Your Name (2021)
(Wrongful Conviction, book 1)
Robert Justice
"Justice has established his chops as a solid contemporary crime novelist right out of the gate. His story of three courageous people of color fighting for the life of a wrongfully convicted man, set primarily in corners of Denver, Colorado where crime fiction rarely fears to tread, will hook you from the first page and not let you go until the last."
Under Color of Law (2021)
(Trevor Finnegan, book 1)
Aaron Philip Clark
"Aaron Philip Clark’s Under Color of Law is extraordinary. It’s a police procedural with a conscience, as invested in examining how and why American law enforcement so often fails to uphold its mandate to protect and serve all people equally as it is in telling a compelling story. You’ll read on for the mystery at its core, but you’ll remember Under Color of Law long after the read for the things it will teach you about the challenges of being a good cop of color in the age of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor."
Yesterday's Echo (2013)
(Rick Cahill, book 1)
Matt Coyle
"Readers looking for a smart new spin on the classic P.I. novel will find it in Matt Coyle’s terrific debut, yesterday’s Echo. Coyle turns the difficult trick of paying the proper respect to the traditions of the classic hardboiled novel while stamping it all with his own distinct, contemporary take. A great read."
