The Ivory Coast is rising up from the dust, on the wrong side of town. And out of the shadows steps Deacon, a white horn player with a dark past and a genius for jazz. Mo mistakes him for a hitman. Worthless takes him for a friend. Anita, the mixed-race beauty he falls for, wants him for herself. And Haney, the corrupt and racist cop who runs this hot desert oasis of sin and sand, wants him rubbed out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Fleming \u003c\/b\u003eis a veteran entertainment industry reporter and the author of \u003ci\u003eAfter Havana \u003c\/i\u003e(Minotaur, January 2004), as well as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling T\u003ci\u003ehe Goomba's Guide to Life and High Concept: Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 8.52 x 5.57 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47227318173945,"sku":"9780312422141","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/OGRHNlZUVElua0xUbStZS1kwTHRNZz09.webp?v=1768279433","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-ivory-coast-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
