In Flamboyants, George M. Johnson celebrates writers, performers, and activists from 1920s Black America whose sexualities have been obscured throughout history. Through 14 essays, Johnson reveals how American culture has been shaped by icons who are both Black and Queer–and whose stories deserve to be celebrated in their entirety.

In a series of (mostly) short stories, Johnson shares the history of Harlem Renaissance artists, artists & others. Read by the author, it’s a fun & interesting book that invites reflection on past & present Black Queer life.

When Billy Ellison, the son of Washington, DC's most influential African American family, is found dead in the Potomac near a violent drug haven, veteran metro reporter Sully Carter knows it's time to start asking some serious questions - no matter what the consequences. With the police unable to find a lead and pressure mounting for Sully to abandon the investigation, he has a hunch that there is more to the case than a drug deal gone bad or a tale of family misfortune.

Great info on history of DC in a great murder mystery
Revisado: 12-05-15
Really enjoyed this book. Much of it took place in my neighborhood of SW DC. The research about the neighborhoods was really great. School names, rib joints, old dance clubs, all sorts of details right in place. I learned some of the backstory of DC that is not well-covered in history books. Ever heard of "red summer?"
Very insightful about class distinctions among African-Americans in DC and elsewhere and about how class, wealth and political connections affect whether a murder is a back (or no page ) story or a front page above-the-fold epic. Deals also with the effect of the ever-encroaching gentrification in this town. I'm typically not a murder mystery fan, but this is about urban sociology.
Mr. Tucker is very, very good. I read his first book in this, series, the Ways of the Dead. Hope "Sully" will be back real soon.
I also enjoyed the reader. This was my first audio book & I stayed up past 3am to listen to the end of it. The only problem for me is that the audiobook slowed my old iPad to a crawl. Next 1 I buy will have more storage.
