ONLY THE WICKED It all starts when Old Man Spears drops dead in the Abyssinia Barber Shop & Shine Parlor. Nobody had paid much attention to Marshall Spears -- least of all private eye Ivan Monk. So it came as a surprise to find out Spears played in the Negro Baseball Leagues with Monk's cousin, Kennesaw Riles, a man whose questionable testimony put civil rights leader, Damon Creel behind bars for murder back in the '60s, and has been on the outs with the family ever since.

ONLY THE WICKED It all starts when Old Man Spears drops dead in the Abyssinia Barber Shop & Shine Parlor. Nobody had paid much attention to Marshall Spears -- least of all private eye Ivan Monk. So it came as a surprise to find out Spears played in the Negro Baseball Leagues with Monk's cousin, Kennesaw Riles, a man whose questionable testimony put civil rights leader, Damon Creel behind bars for murder back in the '60s, and has been on the outs with the family ever since. But when Riles himself mysteriously dies, Monk knows that something is going besides coincidence. When his mother Nona is attacked, it becomes personal. With the help of his mentor, retired LAPD plainclothesman Dexter Grant and his lady love, Judge Jill Kodama, Monk starts down a trail that leads from baseball to blues to backwoods politics, an old trail littered with two murdered civil rights activists and a group of Mississippi businessmen who may not have changed their ways as much as they claim. And all the while, the haunting refrain of long gone Delta bluesman Charlie Patton's purported lost recording of the Killin' Blues provides the prophetic backdrop for this, Ivan Monk's fourth and most resonate case.

Über den Autor
Gary Phillips has been a firefighter, Health and Safety Professional (CRSP), Human Resource Professional (CHRL), consultant, trainer, student (MA adult education) and a 3 chord guitar player. He alleges to have recovered from them all. Apparently unable to maintain a focus on any one of these areas he has chosen to develop integrated models that pull together patterns from across the spectrum of human performance. His ongoing work in organizational and Leadership development, trainer and management training, personal and executive coaching, and writing, have somewhat limited his 3 chord performances to the relief of friends and family alike. Gary is also the author of The Art of Safety. A sought after trainer and speaker he has presented across North America and abroad from his home in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada.
