Former L.A. Times crime reporter Corwin (Homicide Special: a Year with all the LAPD's Elite Detective Unit) introduces an engaging Jewish police detective in the first novel, a grittily realistic story of murder, stupidity, and redemption. Ash Levine, the LAPD's top detective, resigns after his suspension for failing to avoid the death of an key witness he was meant to protect. A year later, Ash's former boss invites him to guide the investigation into an ex-cop's murder. Levine returns on the force, hoping to reopen true that cost him his job, though few people within the department is thrilled to determine him back. A jazz lover (hence the Miles Davis–inspired title), the son of an concentration camp survivor, as well as a veteran in the Israeli Defense Forces, Ash battles through departmental interference, corruption, and misdirection. Given his strong debut, Ash should be back for the job for further assignments. (Nov.) (c)

*Starred Review* Eleven months after he leaves the LAPD, Ash Levine, formerly the superior detective inside elite Felony Squad, is lured returning to solve the murder of ex-cop Pete Relovich, which interests department brass since the victim also was the son of the cop. But Levine is motivated through the opportunity to come back to another case, one that resulted in his suspension and ultimate resignation knowning that still haunts him: the murder of his witness, Latisha Patton, whom he was unable to protect. Levine is a dogged, intuitive detective who doesn’t rest when details don’t make sense, but there’s more to him than his work. He’s a male having a stereotypical Jewish mother who’s prone to women he meets in his investigations; he has flashbacks to his combat with the Israeli Defense Force in Lebanon; and that he is soothed by Miles Davis’ jazz (hence the allusion in the novel’s title). Former LA Times crime reporter Corwin, whose unfettered use of LAPD units provided the material for such nonfiction work as Homicide Special (2003), clearly knows the technical stuff. His procedural info is spot-on, but he also knows how to generate adrenaline-producing action, and he gets into the very heart and soul of his multifaceted protagonist. This fine first novel marks the arrival of your strong new voice in hard-boiled crime fiction. --Michele Leber
