Snakeskin

The daughter of a black MP has been brutally murdered.

When Viali Walker, a young, beautiful law student, is discovered dead on London's South Bank, her father Robert is desperate for justice. But with the police leaving yet another black murder unsolved, he turns to private investigator Ervine James to find out the truth.

Robert has his suspicions as to who is responsible: the far right organisation The Foundation. But is this a political murder? As Ervine's investigations take him from the strip clubs of Soho to the offices of the Nation of Islam, he discovers a daughter her father never knew, and as many suspects as people who were attracted to her.

Jaded private eye Erwin James's interest in justice in rekindled when the daughter of a prominent black MP is murdered. Was a sinister right wing party involved or was it the university lecturer with whom she was having an affair - or perhaps her Nation of Islam lover.A gripping thriller set in London's underworld by one of Britain's very best black writers. Highly recommended.
