Like an unstoppable force of nature, private detective John Shaft is
back with a vengeance. Ernest Tidyman's iconic detective returns in the
first original Shaft novel in more than forty years, and he's as bad as
ever. When the Godfather of crime in Harlem reaches out to Shaft for a
favor, the hardboiled detective finds himself caught in a web of
violence and murder. No one is safe as the bullets start to fly and the
bodies start to drop, leaving Shaft with only two options: kill or be
killed.
From the writer of the award-winning graphic novel Shaft: A Complicated
Man, comes the critically acclaimed return of the black private dick
that's a sex machine with all the chicks. It's a two-fisted tale of
revenge as Shaft cuts a bloody path through city, settling old scores
and faces the demons of his past.
