Lightning Men by Thomas Mullen

4.0

Second book by Thomas Mullen in this mystery series featuring early African American police in Atlanta. The two main characters —Boggs the black cop from the preachers family, and Rakestraw the white cop, both continue as likable heroes with depth and good story lines. Secondary characters are also good and the mystery is complex enough to keep you going. I sadly learned more about the Klan than I ever wanted to but this was an important part of the plot and culture of the times. I preferred the previous reader to this one, hence the 4 stars.
