A review by emckeon1002
Blue Like Me by Aaron Philip Clark

4.0

Aaron Philip Clark is positioning himself as one of the new ringleaders of Los Angeles noir. Roaming through LA's underbelly, searching for something like truth, Clark's protagonist, Trevor Finnegan, finds more slime than he's prepared for. As a real outsider, as a man of color, and a former cop, he has trouble achieving the respect he's due as a result of his principled stand. He's drawn into an investigation he isn't prepared to handle, and things go expectedly awry. Clark is an accomplished writer with a real feel for his city. Hint: read Under Cover of Law, first. It's the predecessor in this series, and look for Clark's heist novel partnership with 50 cent.
