Nominated for the Brooklyn Public Librarys Brooklyn Eagles Literary Prize for Fiction This is a fine mystery and protagonist D Hunter is as world weary, yet steadfast, as Philip Marloew, Spenser, Dave Robicheaux, or Easy Rawlins. A definite yes to purchase for both mystery and African American collections.--Library Journal Starred Review, Pick of the Month George covers a lot of ground with style the rhythm-and-blues music scene past and present, the sometimes startling evolution of Brooklyn and its environs, and the multitude of hangers-on, wannabes, and grifters who want a piece of the action.--Publishers Weekly Real relationships and real talk frame the mashup of mysteries in Georges street-framed series.--Kirkus Reviews The wonderful sing-song street slang dialogue and esoteric industry knowledge make The Lost Treasures of RB a richly entertaining addition to Georges evolving series.
