Glenville Lovell Livres

Set in New York, Too Beautiful to Die introduces Blades Overstreet, a black ex-cop, now at odds with the NYPD over the incident that prompted his resignation--a buy-and-bust operation gone bad when a white cop "accidentally" shot and nearly killed him. Now, the man who saved Blades's life prevails upon him to help a beautiful soap-opera star named Precious find her father. But that assignment quickly turns sour when Blades stumbles on the murdered body of an FBI agent, and he becomes the target of an FBI/NYPD manhunt. Glenville Lovells books have been compared by The Washington Post to "works by Morrison and Nabokov, " called "impressive" by The New York Times, and "recommended" by USA Today. Blades Overstreet is destined to become one of the great heroes of crime fiction and Glenville Lovell a new star of the genre.

The third book in the Blades Overstreet series finds Blades facing a crisis. His estranged father has returned from Barbados and Blades is determined to finally get the truth behind his father's disappearance many years ago. Distraction comes his way in the form of a plea from a friend begging Blades to help track down his wealthy father's killers. Blades' decision to take the case upsets his wife, Anais, who is convinced that Blades gets more satisfaction from chasing criminals than from being her husband. The investigation leads Blades to popular community activist, Odessa Rose, holed up in the Pink Houses with her own private army. Odessa is on a social mission to convert enough undocumented immigrants into citizens to one day affect presidential elections. As he tracks the retired judge's killers through Brooklyn's shadowy streets, Blades must outsmart corrupt cops, outrun thugs and outshoot hired killers, even as Blades struggles to resolve the anger which threatens to drown him in his own pit of filial rage.
