Stress

A young black cop goes head-to-head with Detroit's elite undercover squad when one of its officers is accused of a racially fraught murder

For Paul Kubicek and the city of Detroit, 1972 ends in a haze of blood. A police officer in need of extra work, Kubicek spends New Year's Eve moonlighting as a security guard at an upscale Grosse Pointe party. Just before midnight, in the sea of white faces, he sees three black men, a shotgun, and a pistol. Shooting more accurately than he ever has on the firing range, he takes out the would-be burglars in less than a minute. Only after they are all dead does he realize one man was unarmed.

The police department asks Charlie Battle, one of its few African American officers, to head up the investigation into Kubicek's shooting. As racial tensions threaten to tear Detroit apart, Battle tries to break through the department's code of silence, fighting for truth in a city where lies are a way of life.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
