In this “lively noir mystery,” a 1940s Hollywood private eye tries
to clear heavyweight champ Joe Louis and corner a killer (Library
Journal). Joe Louis may be the heavyweight champ of the world, but
private detective Toby Peters is pretty sure he’s not a cold-blooded
killer. Pretty sure, because Peters has just found the boxer standing
over a man on the beach who’s clearly been beaten to death. Louis
claims he was just out for a run, but it doesn’t look good. Offering
his services on the spot, Peters joins the champ’s corner. The
corpse isn’t just anyone. He happens to be Peters’s ex-wife’s
new husband, the one she just hired him to find. Well, he found him.
As the detective begins to investigate, he discovers the victim had
lately taken an interest in the boxing world, which only further
complicates matters. To clear the Louis, Peters will need to go a few
rounds with a killer who won’t be pulling any punches. The Edgar
Award winner once again delivers a TKO in the hard-boiled detective
genre with a tale Library Journal calls “vintage Kaminsky.”
