Mystery
Erica Donato, Brooklyn girl, urban history grad student and
single mom, is researching the 1930s when Brownsville was
the home of the notorious organized criminals the newspapers
called Murder Inc. She quickly learns that even in rapidly
changing Brooklyn, Brownsville remains much as it was. It is
still poor, it is still tough, and it still breeds fighters
and gangs. Doing field research, Erica stops in at the landmark local
library and meets Savanna, a young woman who is the pride of
her mother and her bosses, and headed for an elite college
and a future. A few days later, Savanna is found beaten and
left for dead. Her anguished mother is everywhere, insisting
someone knows something. After a massive, angry demonstration, a young girlfriend of
Savanna’s is found dead, too. Is there a connection? Did
perfect Savanna have a few secrets? Erica’s curious. But
she’s focused on the 1930s and has located a few women who
are happy to share memories. Two are childhood friends who
disagree on much but guard secrets, too―ones kept for a
lifetime. Never one to resist looking deeper than her research
requires, Erica keeps encountering an apparent derelict
white man, a vengeful rejected girlfriend, the role of
boxing as a way out of poverty, and fading evidence of
long-ago crimes.
