Description
The mystery that launched Gary Phillips's career: Black private eye Ivan Monk investigates the murder of a Korean shop owner in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riots In 1992, Los Angeles burned. In the aftermath of the Rodney King beating and subsequent riots, a ground-breaking ceremony at the infamous intersection of Florence and Normandie unearths the body of a Korean shop owner. Black private eye Ivan Monk searches for the killer--many suspect the motives for the murder were racial. But then another body turns up, and while the FBI and the Rolling Daltons--the largest gang in the city--dog Monk's trail, Monk begins to question just how many people will be involved, and how many will die before he can find the truth.
