In “Blacktop Wasteland” and “Razorblade Tears” (and an earlier thriller, “My Darkest Prayer”), Cosby worked the outlaw side of the crime/suspense genre.
In this new one he’s written a crackling good police procedural.
Titus deals with two girlfriends, one new and one old (the old one is, unsurprisingly, a true-crime podcaster).
As in most novels of this type, he’s positive he’s missed some vital clue, and sure enough, he has.
This is news from a part of America that’s rarely written about, especially from a Black perspective.
