Blood Count by Reggie Nadelson
In New York's Harlem, every street is steeped in history, and the music of jazz legends plays in the memories of its residents. Artie Cohen could feel at home here - if he wasn't on the trail of a killer intent on erasing the past... An elderly Russian woman is found dead in her apartment, and Cohen finds himself in the centre of a violent debate between city developers and an older generation of Harlem tenants. Not to mention the tensions between himself, his old girlfriend, and her new, younger lover. Meanwhile someone in these once-violent streets is intent on hauling Harlem into the twenty-first century, no matter what it takes...
'Nadelson writes wonderfully well about New York in her crime novel series' Ian Rankin 'Nadelson make Harlem, with its up-and-down history, live and breathe on the pageHumming with suspense, this is New York noir at its best.' Daily Mail 'Set shortly after Obama's victory, Blood Count is passionately concerned with race and progress, and with channelling the memories of those tenants who are old enough to remember when Louis Armstrong was their neighbour... wonderfully claustrophobic.' Guardian
