The Diehard begins in Indian Village, an exclusive enclave in Mulheisen's crumbling Detroit precinct, when a gorgeous young heiress is shot and stabbed, apparently during a robbery, and expires on a neighbor's doorstep. Her husband was the only executive of Fidelity Trust Insurance to escape blame for an embezzlement scandal worth some $20 million. But what is the connection, where is the money, and who is the suntanned stranger who is tracking down the same leads, one step ahead of Mulheisen?

First in the Series-- Read This One and You'll Read Them All,
By
This review is from: The Diehard: Detective Sergeant Mulheisen Mysteries (Paperback)
Jackson is a real find, and this is where to start. These novels, mostly police procedurals, are concisely and wittily written, and as the books continue, we really get to know Fang Mulheisen and his city, Detroit. Later, in books like "Hit on the House" and "Deadman," we meet recurring characters such as likeable assassin Joe Service and his on-again off-again love interest (and Mafia princess) Helen Sedlacek. These are "real" people with foibles and weaknesses-- some are unapologetic killers, but we get to know them and, yes, like them. Fang tracks them down, and sometimes even catches them. If you like Elmore Leonard, if you like Carl Hiaasen, if you like Thomas Perry-- read these too. You'll become a fan, I guarantee it.
