A Phat Death: Or, The Last Days of Noir Soul (Nina Halligan)
by Norman Kelley

Fiction. African American Studies. A hit on a notorious hip-hop star plunges Nina into the vortex of a violent power struggle to control a valuable commodity in the recording industry, namely black music. Nina takes the music industry by storm-no music mogul or sinister rap star is left standing. "Want a scathing social and political satire? Look no further than Norman Kelley’s second effort featuring ’bad girl’ African-American PI and part-time intellectual Nina Halligan-it’s a romp of a read."-Publishers Weekly.
