Publisher's summary

A shadowy Detroit real estate billionaire. A ruthless fixer. A successful Mexicantown family business in their crosshairs. Gentrification has never been bloodier.

Authentico Foods Inc. has been a part of Detroit’s Mexicantown for over 30 years, grown from a home kitchen business to a city-block-long facility that supplies Mexican tortillas to restaurants throughout the Midwest.

Detroit ex-cop and Mexicantown native August Snow has been invited for a business meeting at Authentico Foods. Its owner, Ronaldo Ochoa, is dying, and is being blackmailed into selling the company to an anonymous entity. Worried about his employees, Ochoa wants August to buy it. August has no interest in running a tortilla empire, but he does want to know who’s threatening his neighborhood. Quickly, his investigation takes a devastating turn and he and his loved ones find themselves ensnared in a dangerous net of ruthless billionaire developers. August Snow must fight not only for his life, but for the soul of Mexicantown itself.

One of the best Afro-American/Black Authors I’ve read in a long time

I absolutely love this author. The description of the action, recipes, clothing and are so on point that I had to clip/bookmark sections for future research. The writing is so relevant and realistic!

Motown never sounded so good!

The author does a great job of capturing a biracial community in Detroit. The narrator does the excellent job of using the right inflexions and the right timing in reading the text. I've enjoyed all 3 of the novels and I would recommend them to anyone. They have the right mix of adventure, of intrigue, and of humor.

Fast paced urban crime novel

Stephen Mack Jones has written the third book in his award-winning August Snow series. There's a reason he's getting all this attention and a TV series: it's an intense urban thriller that won't let up. It's a fun read, colorful characters, more than a hint of violence and a good plot. Narration is good and helps convey the charm of Mack Jones' writing. Very enjoyable.

Ready for another!

Great characters and a true sense of life in Detroit with all the people involved. Descriptions of foods are amazing. Luis Moreno does a perfect job with multiple accents, especially the Spanish.

Another Entertaining Time

I loved all 3 of the books with this character and loved the narrator. If you are looking for books with mystery, action and humor these books are perfect.

I enjoyed this book

The first two were engaging but this one? With the twists and turns not only made it engaging but also enjoyable. Finished in one day.

Sloppy audio

Audio splicing was sloppy as words were cut off or eliminated. Needs work to make it better
