Midnight Mover

by Gary Phillips, Jeremy Love

For Danny, blunts keep the pain of his existence dull and bearable while chaperonin' hookers keeps the rent paid. But when a girl gets knifed on his watch, Danny can kiss all that goodbye and say hello to life on the lam. But when the cops assigned to the case are the straight-laced, God-fearing Detective Padilla and the detective-by-day/dom-by-night Sgt. Oh, Danny doesn't have a chance—but maybe the truth does. It's bondage, badges, and blackmail in this rollercoaster ride by novelist Gary Phillips (SHOT CALLERZ, PERPETRATORS) and artists Jeremy Love (Gettosake Productions) and Jeff Wasson (COPYBOOK TALES)!
