Book description
In this sequel to Free Form Jazz, Ray Tate and Djuna Brown
are reunited in a city being ripped apart by fear, paranoia, and
racism. With the police force decimated by a SARS-like disease, Tate
and Brown are assigned to a task force targeting a series of murders
that seem to be racially motivated. As the city riots around them, can
they fashion a future for themselves in their dreamland of bohemian Paris?
Far more than a whodunit detective story, Picasso Blues is
the gripping tale of a civil society that flirts with anarchy - a
society where the very defenders of order risk losing themselves to chaos.
"
Picasso Blues
is much more than a police mystery." Lee Lamothe is a journalist
and the author of several books, including the national bestsellers
The Sixth Family
and
Bloodlines

The Last Thief: A Tale of the
Russian Underworld
and the highly acclaimed novels
The Finger's Twist
(nominated for an Arthur Ellis Award) and
Free Form Jazz
. He lives in Toronto.
