ABOUT
THE BOOK

Set in New York City, Too Beautiful To Die introduces Blades Overstreet, a black ex-cop at odds with the NYPD over the incident that prompted his resignation – a buy-and-bust operation gone bad, when a white cop ‘accidently’ shot and nearly killed him. Now the man who saved Blades’s life prevails on him to help a beautiful soap-opera star named Precious find her father. That assignment quickly turns sour when Blades stumbles on the murdered body of an FBI agent and becomes the target of an FBI/NYPD manhunt.
Pursued by the FBI, a pariah to his former ‘brothers’ in the NYPD, Blades sets out to find the killer before he himself has to take the rap – or worse. He winds his way through New York’s Caribbean community looking for answers – and solace for his tortured soul.
