BOOK DESCRIPTION
A familiar name piques Willie Black's interest on a slow news day: Scuffletown Park. He and the first of his four wives lived next door to Pocket Park when they were young and still on good terms. Today, Scuffletown is the site of a crime scene, which does not fit Richmond's usual modus operandi. On the one hand, there is a lot of blood but no body. Plus, it appears a knife was involved – a rarity in the town where Willie's guns are located. And Scuffletown is in the heart of Fan, where violence is an extremely rare phenomenon.
Soon there will be a body. There is also a neighbor who filmed the act with his iPhone camera. When his old friend and current police cop, Peachy Love, gives Willie a glimpse of the remarkably clear photo, he begins to wish he had never seen Scuffletown Park again.
How is it possible that Abe Custalow is on top of what appears to be a dead body? Abe has been sharing Willie Black's apartment since Willie found his childhood friend living homeless in Monroe Park. Even now, with Willie married to the lovely Cindy Peroni Black, Abe remains ensconced there. Okay, he killed a guy once, but the guy deserved to be killed, and Abe was "Mr." Clean” since.
With his roommate in prison, Willie does what a good journalist does best: he starts digging, without the help of Abe, who insists that Willie "leave it alone." It would go against every instinct in Willie Black's nosy body, but when he finally gets closer to the truth, he understands why Abe wanted him to back off.
Before Scuffletown reaches its conclusion, Willie knows he will have to risk his oldest friendship in order to save his oldest friend from a life behind bars.
