Solomon vs. Lord

"Solomon vs. Lord" by Paul Levine is a darkly humorous crime thriller blending elements of historical fiction and contemporary noir. The series follows the eccentric and increasingly unhinged private investigator Solomon, a descendant of Solomon Northup, author of Twelve Years a Slave, as he navigates the criminal underworld of Washington, D.C. It’s distinguished by its unique protagonist’s lineage and the series’ sharp wit alongside its exploration of systemic injustice.
