Publisher's Summary

New York City, 1920s. When a wealthy White man is killed in Harlem, racial tensions flare throughout the city. Ava must delve into her old life in the jazz clubs and speakeasies of New York, fighting against a ticking clock before the entire city, on edge, explodes into racial riots.

City of Death (An Ava Gold Mystery, Book 5) is a new novel in a long-anticipated new series by number one best seller and USA Today best-selling author Blake Pierce, whose best seller Once Gone has received more than 1,000 five-star reviews.

In the rough streets of 1920s New York City, 34 year-old Ava Gold, a widower and single mom, claws her way up to become the first female homicide detective in her NYPD precinct. She is as tough as they come and willing to hold her own in a man’s world.

When a Black musician is accused of murdering a wealthy White Manhattanite, Ava senses all is not what it seems. Determined to track down the real killer, Ava dives back into her old life: the Harlem world of clubs. But her time is short, and there is only one thing she can be sure of: This killer will strike again.

A heart-pounding suspense thriller filled with shocking twists, the authentic and atmospheric Ava Gold mystery series is riveting, endearing us to a strong and brilliant character that will capture your heart and keep you listening late into the night.

Book six in the series—City of Vice—is now also available.
