Dead of Winter | Stephen Mack Jones
1 post | 1 read
A shadowy Detroit real estate billionaire. A ruthless fixer. A successful Mexicantown family business in their crosshairs. Gentrification has never been bloodier. Authentico Foods Inc. has been a part of Detroit’s Mexicantown for over thirty years, grown from a home kitchen business to a city-blocklong facility that supplies Mexican tortillas to restaurants throughout the Midwest. Detroit ex-cop and Mexicantown native August Snow has been invited for a business meeting at Authentico Foods. Its owner, Ronaldo Ochoa, is dying, and is being blackmailed into selling the company to an anonymous entity. Worried about his employees, Ochoa wants August to buy it. August has no interest in running a tortilla empire, but he does want to know who’s threatening his neighborhood. Quickly, his investigation takes a devastating turn and he and his loved ones find themselves ensnared in a dangerous net of ruthless billionaire developers. August Snow must fight not only for his life, but for the soul of Mexicantown itself.

Jones‘ latest has the pacing of a speeding bullet, and the tone of a great comic book with lots of Easter eggs. As always the Detroit setting, flavors, and politics are impeccably drawn. The plot: a terrorist-funded international cabal wants to build completely off-the-grid luxury towers. Their mistake is they want them built in Snow‘s beloved Mexicantown, so bodies and heads fly! But say it ain‘t so, Snow, that you‘re leaving the Motor City?!?
