Synopsis

Casanegra follows the adventures of Tennyson Hardwick, a gorgeous, sexy former actor and gigolo living on the fringes of the good life in Hollywood. This story combines the glamour of Hollywood with the seedy hopelessness of the inner city.

In this hot and steamy mystery, Tennyson is an actor struggling to hang on to his career and redeem his sex-for-pay history that estranged him from his family—especially his father, a decorated LAPD captain who raised Tennyson to call him "Sir." Now, in the wake of his father's sudden stroke, Tennyson has to save himself from taking the fall for a murder. In the process he discovers his hidden talents—the hard way.

Blair Underwood, a Golden Globe–nominated actor and the author of Before I Got Here, joins bestselling novelists Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes to create a cool, irresistible character in Tennyson Hardwick, and this gritty, provocative mystery will keep readers craving more.

Goodreads review by Rachelle

I was pleasantly surprised reading this book, but then again, I shouldn’t have been all that surprised. Blair is a seasoned actor, who would know how to spin a good tale. Tananarive Due is a brilliant wordsmith and also a master of a dark tale & complex characters. I’m not familiar with the other au......more
