Hit on the House

A Motown mob war threatens to explode in this " kinetic, violent, often brutally funny" mystery featuring Detroit police detective "Fang" Mulheisen ( Publishers Weekly).   When Big Sid Sedlacek thought he could skim money from the mob, it was a fatally stupid mistake—one that was corrected by hit man Hal Good. And when Good is brought into the station as a possible witness to the very murder he just committed, he switches IDs with a drunk and makes his exit before Detective Sergeant Mulheisen can question him. But having a contract killer on the loose is just one of Mulheisen's problems.   He's also contending with the return of an old flame, now married to a smug computer entrepreneur who's a bit too friendly with some very dangerous mobsters. And when those mobsters start getting killed, Mulheisen realizes that Big Sid's daughter is on a rampage of revenge—and that someone on her payroll is already one deadly step ahead of him . . .    In this fast-paced, rough-edged police thriller "Jackson expertly taps the vein that Elmore Leonard, another Motown scribe, is noted for" ( Publishers Weekly).
