description: Jon A. Jackson's novels about Detroit Detective Sergeant "Fang" Mulheisen have caused The New York Times to exclaim, "How long can Jon A. Jackson remain the best-kept secret of hard-boiled crime fiction connoisseurs? . . . Jackson always gets it right." In Man with an Axe , Jackson returns to Mulheisen's hardboiled and eccentric mentor, star of Jackson's acclaimed cult hit Grootka . Mulheisen in settling in for a period of repose, when suddenly he begins receiving bizarre E-mail cartoons depicting a murder-and an alluring young historian turns up wanting to know all about the long-dead Grootka. As Mulheisen begins uncovering the notebook diaries Grootka left behind, it becomes clear that these two events are somehow linked to the fate of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa-and that a young saxophonist, who disappeared without a trace the same weekend as Hoffa, may hold the key.
