Mystery Private Eye
The mystery of Lew Griffin is revealed in the concluding
novel of an honored series. In his old house in uptown New
Orleans, Lew Griffin is alone...or almost. His relationship
with Deborah is falling apart, his son, David, has
disappeared again, leaving a note that sounds final. His
friend Don Walsh, who is leaving the police department, is
shot interrupting a robbery. And Lew is directionless: he
hasn't written anything in years; he no longer
teaches...there's nothing to fill his days. Even the attempt
to discover the source of threatening letters to a friend
leaves him feeling rootless and lost. Through five
previous novels, James Sallis has enthralled and challenged
readers as he has told the story of Lew Griffin, private
detective, teacher, writer, poet, and a black man moving
through time in a white man's world. And now Lew Griffin
stands alone in a dark room, looking out. Behind him on the
bed is a body. Wind pecks at the window. Traffic sounds
drift aimlessly in. He thinks if he doesn't speak, doesn't
think about what happened, somehow things will be all right
again. He thinks about his own life, about the other's,
about how the two of them came to be here.... In a
story as much about identity as it is about crime, Sallis
has held a mirror up to society and culture, while at the
same time setting Lew Griffin the task of discovering who he
is. As the detective stands in that dark room, the answers
begin to come clear and the highly acclaimed series builds
to a brilliantly constructed climax that will resonate in
readers' minds long after the story is finished.
