If you enjoy private detective novels coming straight from the Raymond Chandler camp,
RUSSIAN ROULETTE could be just what you're looking for.
This book is part of a series of Hannibal Jones mysteries by Austin Camacho.
What I really love is that Camacho portrays Hannibal (a black PI) as a polished and competent, yet streetwise, character. A great combination of traits! Plus you get to see DC from a local's perspective. (Not all the action is on Capitol Hill and in the White House.

)
The plot--whew!--well, it's got twists and turns galore and will keep you hungry to know what comes next and where it all leads.
