Book excerpt: Burnt Offerings a novel of the Detroit Police Department This first novel gives vibrant voice to a street cop's extraordinary experiences on Detroit's steamy Latin southwest side. It examines the gritty world of big city police work in a new light, and with a unique voice. The story encompasses hope and fear, faith and betrayal, love and redemption. It explores municipal politics, racial attitudes, religious philosophy, and the precarious state of criminal justice in urban America. At its heart, though, it's simply about cops: normal people called upon to perform overwhelming tasks under unspeakable conditions-and the horrendous effect that has on them, and those around them.
