Down The River Unto The Sea, Mosley - B

                      This novel is set in Brooklyn and Manhattan and features Joe King Oliver, a PI. Joe was framed and forced off the NYPD a decade before and still seethes with anger about how he was treated. A client asks him to look into the conviction of a man who had killed the two cops that Joe was investigating when his life fell apart. He sees that there is a chance to solve his case while working on the new one. Plot, sub-plots and a vast assortment of evildoers send Joe all around the city in his pursuit of justice. Joe learns that he'll never be able to clear his name, but he does free an innocent man from custody and is well compensated for his efforts.
