Lots of authors have trafficked in "low rent" fiction in order to make
ends meet. Barnes had written detective fiction but with a fantastic
bent so this wasn't a terrible stretch. I'd put Casanegra in the realm
of work from Valerie Wilson-Wesley, Gary Phillips and Gary Hardwick.
Is it Walter Mosley
It wasn't well written. Somehow Barnes and Due trafficing in low
rent fiction is perceived as laudable. Frank Lucas might have been
more noble than Nicky Barnes...but they were both still selling crack.

I didn't think it was badly written. It wasn't the usual stuff from
them but it wasn't bad. There might have been some hiccups but it was
the first time they wrote together and they were hammering out the
rough spots. I imagine the second book will be a bit more polished.
