Om Lyrics of a Blackbird

A sweeping tale of old loves and festering hatreds, this story will plunge you into the glittering world of Jazz Age Harlem, from the wealthy salons of its movers and shakers to the crowded tenements of its poor. Years earlier, David McKay, an attorney from a prominent Strivers' Row family, mysteriously disappeared while on a covert mission in the South. Now, he's back, drawn home by the news of his sister's suicide. The deeper he probes into Lilian's death, the more he risks revelations of his own dark secret one that could destroy him or redeem him. (Previously titled: Harlem Redux) "A murder mystery set among the black bourgeoisie, it is also the heady tale of a bygone era … compelling family intrigue and a full, vibrant portrait of that storied era when Harlem's pulse was the rhythm of black America." -The Boston Globe "As much a story of lies, deceit and murder as it is a commentary on race and class..." -Chicago Tribune
