It is a little raw and definitely written for men but it was well written, action packed and at times humorous. I will be reading the other 2 in this series. ( ) The series is set in contemporary Baltimore. Darryl Billups is a wiry, 5'10" and 145 lb man in his early thirties. At the beginning, he is a crime reporter for the (fictional) Baltimore Herald. He loves being a journalist, but has a somewhat uneasy relationship with the newspaper, which has generally ignored the African-American community and has only reluctantly integrated the staff. Darryl's family consists of his parents, Dolores and James, and his younger sister, Camille, an up-and-coming, status-conscious lawyer. His older brother James Jr. died in Vietnam in 1970. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A five-year veteran of the Baltimore Herald's police beat, Darryl Billups is one of the paper's top reporters. He earned the distinction the hard way, combining a nose for news, innate writing ability, and the timeless art of persuasion. Never one to shy away from the dangers of the job, he has chronicled the trajectories of some of Baltimore's most compelling--and lethal--characters. So when an anonymous source tips him off to a domestic terrorist plot to bomb the NAACP's national headquarters, Darryl knows this story could be the biggest of his career. But what he soon comes to realize is that though his dogged pursuit of the truth may make his name, it could also cost him his life. Complicating matters is Darryl's deepening affection for Yolanda and Jamal, a young mother and son he has taken under his wing to shield them from domestic abuse. As a veteran journalist, he knows better than to insert himself into a story, but sometimes it just can't be helped. Up Jumped the Devil weaves a thrilling mixture of suspense, romance, and comedy, expertly juggled by a memorable new hero for fans of contemporary detective fiction.
