Anthony Pope is not a detective. He does not carry a badge, work for the police, or answer to the underworld.
But in Memphis, people know where to find him.
When a frightened mother asks Pope to help find her missing nineteen-year-old daughter, he steps into a world of fear, silence, and a dangerous man known as Silk. The police have little they can act on. Witnesses are afraid to talk. The people who know the truth have learned that staying quiet is safer.
Pope has something the police do not: trust.
With help from old friends, neighborhood contacts, a skeptical detective, and the complicated protection of his powerful Uncle Vincent, Pope begins following a trail through early-1990s Memphis. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous the search becomes, and soon Silk is no longer warning Pope to stop.
He is making it personal.
Set against the music, streets, pool halls, churches, neighborhoods, and complicated loyalties of Memphis, A Friend of a Friend is a Southern crime novel about a man who works between the law and the underworld while belonging to neither.
Because in Memphis, somebody always knows somebody.
And sometimes, when everything else has failed, somebody says:
Go see the Pope.
