Product Description
Raised in the bosom of the inner city, white Detroit Homicide cop Danny Cavanaugh speaks and acts with the unmistakable attitude of a black man. But the savage murders of affluent African-Americans are plunging him into the urban heart of terror, where he will learn first-hand how powerful, inviolate -- and deadly -- the color line truly is.

This is from the man who writes new age Blaxploitation like "The Brothers" and "Deliver Us from Eva" (which he stole from Shakespeare). I'll stick to Gar Anthony Haywood, G Phillips, E T Bland, Christopher Chambers, L Marie Wood, Grace Edwards, Frankie Bailey et al.
 Another good book by Gary Hardwich April 28, 2004

I actually just finished this book tonight and I thought it was good. This is the second book that I've read by Gary Hardwick. My only complaint was that there were a lot of typos but other than that I enjoyed it because the setting of the story took place in Detroit, as a matter of fact that seems to be a theme with all of his mystery books.
Since he's from Detroit I guess he's representing his city which is cool. Usually the books I read the story takes place in either California or New York.
So it was nice to learn about Detroit, and he was descriptive when he was describing the ways of Detroit, I felt like a tourist visiting the city for a tour or something... I liked how the author mixed in his experiences being a lawyer and the justice system into the book. I don't know that much about law but I got to understand a little better from the standpoint of this book.
The main character of the book is Danny Cavanaugh who's a white cop who grew up in Detroit around black people, so he's learn their mannerisms and talks like a black man ( which I thouht was peculiar, but it made for a good storyline).
Danny has to catch a serial killer who's been preying on the black elite of Detroit, and while on this mission he comes to terms with his own issues concerning race and class.
Again, I thought the storyline was good, I would recommend for anyone to read the book if you can by pass the many typos. I'm an avid mystery reader and am always interested in reading mysteries with african-americans.
I plan to read " Supreme Justice" once I get a chance.
That cold hard city January 9, 2004
Quite a suspense story. This is the first I have read of Mr. Harwick's and will not be the last. He in few words discribes the city of Detroit and It's people. He has several twists and turns and his plot is tremendous. In all fiction I feel there is truth. This book certainly brackets my feelings. I felt a real attachment to this story;it certainly discribed what Detroit is today, the city I was raised in and left.

Danny Cauanaugh is white Irish cattholic cop who has been raised in the dangerous part of the innercity. He speaks and acts like a black man, which has made him a enigma to his people and a legend on the street. he's been rocked by devasting and suspicicus personal tragedy. A black couple has been savagely executed in their upscale home. Danny has to solve the crime but cant because it would look weird if a white man walks up to a black man and ask's what's the black power around here. But through all of this he learns a lot of himself. He has problems because of what has happend with the killing of his mother and he go'es to see a psychologist to work them out. Him and his brothers had a plan to find the father and kill him, because he was the reason the mother died.
