VALERIE WILSON WESLEY

CHARACTER:	TAMARA HAYLE
CATEGORY:	PRIVATE DETECTIVE

Tamara Hayle is an ex-cop and single mother turned private detective in Newark, New Jersey. She's also one of very, very few African American female detectives in contemporary American fiction. The writing in this series is crisp and witty, the plots complicated enough to be satisfying. The portrait of Newark and its people, and Tamara's friends and family are wonderful.
