Sorry for the late reply. It is like the dance, and here is the synopsis
LOREN D. ESTLEMAN
"A pithy, punchy writer who can also deliver the action." The New York Times
Book Review

)
$22.95 ($31.95 CAN)
Detroit of World War II- the anguish of war,
hot jazz, racial tension, and a fanatical killer
A tough town in a tough time- Detroit
during World War II was where the United
States' furious effort to out-manufacture
the Germans and Japanese occurred.
Industry imported workers to replace
men gone to war- Southern whites and
blacks working side by side for the
first time. Detroit had it all: rationing,
the black market, the Mafia, fortunes
to be made; a new kind of jazz for
seething summer nights- a powder keg.
Through this tense, troubled world
cuts a killer, a self-appointed solr
savaging ordinary people, the defenseless.
Lieutenant Zagreb's most important
job is to keep the city from
exploding, then to catch a mad killer
with a cop roster of 4-Fs and near-
retirees, and, finally, he has to save his
own soul. He cannot succeed at all
three.
Wartime Detroit is dazzlingly recreated
in Loren Estleman's latest tour
de force crime novel. Great auto manufacturers
labor mightily; blacks struggle
for an economic toehold; whites
strive for /-u»~~
loren d. estleman is the author of forty-one novels. He lives in Michigan.
"Writing with wit and carefully crafting a chilling suspense plot,
Estleman delivers another spine-tingling crime novel set in
Detroit.... Terrific, tough characters, snappy dialogue, crackling
action, and some imaginative applications of the third degree,
make this a triumph for Estleman."
- Publishers Weekly on Jitterbug (starred review)
"Jitterbug is an impressive historical thriller: gritty, rich in character
and detail, a compelling read from start to finish."
- Marcia Muller, author of The Legend of the Slain Solthers
"Hard-rubbed dialogue as bright as a new-minted penny.... Style to
burn, talk that haunts. Deserves blue ribbons and rosettes."
- Kirkus Reviews on Journey of the Dead
"Estleman's eye, ear, and hand^are in perfect sync."
- The Washington Post Book World
"Estleman could rewrite the Ann Arbor phone book and I'd
take a peek."
- Chicago Tribune

Hi, Curtis.
Is that how you spell the name of the book, "Jitterbutg"?
Have you got an author on that? I want to check with
my library.
Thanks,
Marilyn
