August Snow

August Snow, an ex-police detective who was fired from the Detroit PD, brought down the entire corrupt department and the mayor with a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. The son of an African American cop and a Mexican-American painter, August Snow is most at home in Detroit’s Mexican town neighborhood, where he grew up the neighborhood he’s now returned to and hopes to revitalize with his settlement money of $12 million. The trouble is August has old enemies with scores to settle. When an old acquaintance, finance magnate Eleanore Paget, hears August is back in town, she tries to hire him to investigate suspicious goings-on at her investment bank. August declines detective work is no longer his beat. When Eleanore is found dead the next day of an apparent suicide, August doesn’t buy it for a minute. His search for her killer will drag him into a rat’s nest of Detroit’s most dangerous criminals.
