From a two-time Edgar Award nominee, Streets
of Fire is a haunting story of murder and injus-
tice.
Winner of a Mystery Writers of America
Edgar nomination for Best Novel, Thomas
Cook s Sacrificial Ground was one of the most
highly praised thrillers of 1988. In January
1989, his new book, Flesh and Blood, was just
as acclaimed: "Cook is an important talent,"
wrote the LosAngeles Times, "not just an excep-
tional plotter, but a prose stylist."
Now, in Streets of Fire, Cook has written his
best work yet--a novel of extraordinary power.
Birmingham, Alabama, May 1963: As the city
turns into a sweltering oven, the first of Martin
Luther King Jr. s civil rights demonstrations
begin to fill the streets, and amidst the mount-
ing turmoil, a young black girl is found dead--
murdered.
Veteran homicide detective Ben Wellman is
handed the job of investigating the murder. His
search runs down a twisting,erratic trail from
the white-columned mansions of Mountain
Brook to the shothouses and poolhalls of the
black district of Bearmatch, and the more he
probes, pulling at the layers of bitterness and
greed surrounding the mystery, the more resis-
tance he seems to encounter from all quarters,
white and black.
