The Late Candidate

Description for THE LATE CANDIDATE by Mike Phillips:

Black journalist Sam Dean took the murder of politician Aston Edwards hard. They'd been more than friends; Aston had shared Dean's long journey from a colonial childhood to the tough streets of London. They'd shared the same dreams, growing up rough and determined to make a better life. But when Dean is asked to write a retrospective about Aston's career, he suddenly realizes just how little he knows the heart and mind of the late candidate. And it's in the back alleys and smoky rooms of black London that he'll find the truth---like who, besides his pretty wife, Aston was sleeping with; what big-money scandal he was about to expose; and which of the two got him killed. This is #2 in A Sam Dean Mystery.
