  Race and civil rights in 1963 Los Angeles provide a powerful backdrop in Gary Phillips’s riveting historical crime novel about an African American forensic photographer seeking justice for his jazz musician friend.  
   
  Los Angeles, 1963: African American Korean War veteran Harry Ingram earns a living as a news photographer and occasional process server: chasing police radio calls and dodging baseball bats. With racial tensions running high on the eve of  
  Martin Luther King’s Freedom Rally, Ingram risks ending up one of the victims at every crime scene he photographs. 
   
  When Ingram hears a call over the police scanner to the scene of a deadly automobile accident, he recognizes the vehicle described as belonging to his good friend and old army buddy, the white jazz trumpeter Ben Kinslow, with whom  
  he’d only just reconnected. The LAPD declares the car crash an accident, but when Ingram develops his photos there are signs of foul play. Ingram feels compelled to play detective, even if it means putting his own life on the line. 
   
  Armed with his wits, his camera, and occasionally his Colt .45, Harry Ingram plunges headfirst into the seamier underbelly of LA society, tangling with racists, leftists, blackmailers, gangsters, zealots and lovers, all in the hope of finding something resembling justice for a friend.

  A girl vanishes without a trace. The clock is ticking. 
  FBI agent Rose Lee has built her career on brains, beauty, and sheer determination. She’s tough, relentless, and one of the best at what she does. But when a young girl goes missing and the agency seems content to shuffle papers instead of saving lives, Rose refuses to sit back and wait. 
  Driven by instinct and fury, she follows the trail on her own—straight to the doorstep of a man whispered to be dangerous. But what waits for her inside his home isn’t just evidence of a kidnapping…it’s something darker, more twisted, and far more personal than she ever imagined. 
  Now Rose must push past every limit, because the missing girl’s life depends on it—and so might her own.

  Paloma is dead. But before she was murdered, before she was even Paloma, she was a traditional healer named Gaspar. Before she was murdered, she taught her cousin Feliciana the secrets of the ceremonies known as veladas, and about the Language and the Book that unlock their secrets. 
   
   
    
  Sent to report on Paloma's murder, Zoe meets Feliciana in the mountain village of San Felipe. There, the two women's lives twist around each other in a danse macabre. Feliciana tells Zoe the story of her struggle to become an accepted healer in her community, and Zoe begins to understand the hidden history of her own experience as a woman, finding her way in a hostile environment shaped by and for men. 
   
   
    
  Weaving together two parallel narratives that mirror and refract one another, this extraordinary novel envisions the healer as storyteller and the writer as healer, and offers a generous and nuanced understanding of a world that can be at turns violent and exultant, cruel and full of hope.
