MAGIC CITY BLUES by Bobby Mathews just came onto my radar.\u00a0 It checks all the right boxes for me.\u00a0 Maybe it will for you as well…<\/p>\n

When low-level legbreaker Kincaid takes on a new assignment, he discovers it\u2019s not really a step up \u2014 it\u2019s a setup. The deal was supposed to be this: Protect Abby Doyle, the daughter of Birmingham, Alabama\u2019s most dangerous crime lord. But when Abby\u2019s fianc\u00e9 is found murdered, Kincaid is forced to team up with BPD detective Laura D\u2019Agostino to find the killer and protect Abby at all costs \u2026 even from her own father.<\/p>\n

The killer\u2019s trail winds through Birmingham \u2014 the city streets, the back alleys, the world-class food scene and the hole-in-the-wall clubs and bars \u2014 and the white-flight suburbs that surround the city, as Kincaid and D\u2019Agostino uncover secrets that everyone would prefer left alone. But Kincaid doesn\u2019t care about secrets. He\u2019s been hired to do a job, and he\u2019ll see it through or die trying.<\/p>\n

Thrown together by circumstance, Kincaid and D\u2019Agostino explore their unexpected feelings for one another while chasing down the killer and untangling a land swindle in North Birmingham that\u2019s been in the making for more than a decade. But their relationship may not survive the explosive ending that sees Kincaid stand alone against the toughest crime lord the city has ever known.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
