Shakedown on Hate St
by Matthew Copes
Dutch Jameson has fallen on hard times.Blowback from a tough childhood, an ugly run-in with the law, and a raging case of PTSD have been grinding away at him for years. He's tried booze, prayer, and one-night stands all to no avail, and when he meets a young black knockout in a rundown Baltimore coffee shop he's at the end of his rope.She's desperately trying to outrun the terrible choices she's made, and the way she tells it, without his help she never will. He's wary, but when they discover that they share an unlikely bond the clouds begin to part. But for guys like Dutch blue skies are notoriously short-lived, and things take a nasty turn when two characters from her past resurface after years in hiding. They're hell-bent on resurrecting an underground movement of radical racists to its former glory. She's an integral part of their plan, and they're threatening the one thing she and Dutch cherish most. It's a web of hazy loyalties and long-simmering vendettas, and they're not about to let the reformed femme fatale ride off into the sunset – especially with a white man.Shakedown on Hate Street is classic crime fiction with enough lust, greed, and revenge to make even the most hardened readers squirm. It's a great fit for fans of modern noir masters like Ken Bruen, Jason Starr, and Max Allan Collins. BUY IT TODAY
