Lupe Garcia doesn't really plan to kill the young thug who is terrorizing his friend Danny Kelly, even though the Detroit cop lets Kelly believe he will. Garcia, the Hispanic homicide detective readers met in The Cheerio Killings, owes Danny. Kelly is dying of cancer and desperately needs money to leave for the care of a brain-damaged son. Unwisely, he believed that taking Richie Zeayen as a partner in his nightclub would repair his finances. Now Zeayen is threatening him viciously; he wants it all. Lupe - "Loop" to his colleagues - has his own troubles. Sickened when he failed to prevent a gang-related explosion that killed several people, he tried to resign from the force, but his superiors insisted he take time off and "think it over." He takes Dan's "job," convinced he can find a way to bring down Zeayen without murdering him. But it's Lupe who is almost brought down when events land him in jail on a murder charge. Fighting that on one side, Zeayen's gang on another, and a thoroughly evil drug dealer on the third, survival becomes the priority. Allyn creates a heady mix of crime, music, and the complicated moral dilemmas faced by a cop in urban Detroit, and brings it all to his readers with pulsating drive and drama.

Motown Underground

Icewater Mansions

Meet Michelle "Mitch" Mitchell, a woman who epitomizes the female protagonist of the nineties - and the real woman of the nineties as well. True, not every American woman, no matter how admirable, chooses to work underwater on the oil rigs of the Texas Gulf, but Mitch has been supporting her son by doing just that... ...until the death of her estranged father takes her back to her northern Michigan home on the shores of Lake Huron, where she first learned to brave the deep. She's come simply to sell the saloon old Shannon Mitchell owned and be on her way, but a combination of doubt about the way her father met his death and an unexpected feeling that she has come home keeps her there. Huron Harbor, Michigan, is a remote community on the shores of the great lake. Its people are sharply individualized and always interesting, if not always pleasant, to know. Allyn takes us to that town in the dead of winter, and holds us in suspense as Mitch revitalizes the saloon, makes friends and unknown enemies, and gets closer to the ugly truth about Shannon's death. And as a breathtaking climax, we go with Mitch into the freezing depths of the lake itself, where she finds that her skill as a diver may protect her from nature's dangers, but there's still the human peril to reckon with.

Needing a quick transfusion of ready cash, Michelle "Mitch" Mitchell, a single mother, takes a nightmarish diving job, to descend into a murky river to find a drowned car and its missing driver, a surly delinquent who came to town to search for his millionaire birth father.
