About
It's springtime in Detroit and Detective Sergeant "Fang" Mulheisen has settled in for a period of repose - he thinks. But when a young kid arrives with an E-mail cartoon message addressed to Mulheisen depicting a murder and an alluring young historian suddenly wants to know all about Grootka, Mulheisen begins a scavenger hunt to uncover the notebooks Grootka left behind. It turns out that Grootka knew a lot more than he ever told Mulheisen, or anyone. Such as what happened to Jimmy Hoffa one lonely weekend in an isolated African-American resort town on the Great Lakes, and the advice Grootka gave him: "When push comes to shove, kick is better." Mulheisen soon discovers that neither the young historian nor modern jazz's rising star is what he seems.

"Addictive."
Chicago Tribune
"Jackson writes with the same quirky appetite of his hero and the patience of a virtuoso jazzman. He plays the head, sets the novel up in good Elmore Leonard style and then takes his time, playing a chorus, visiting keys you might not think have anything to do with the plot. . . . And then, pow-he clamps down on his hard-bitten mouthpiece-the man wails on his axe and blows the heat away!"
Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Jackson is becoming the most plausible candidate to inherit the mantle of the great Charles Willeford."
