They Called Her Strawberry

by K.C. Marks

A must read for anyone interested in the truth about what led to the down-fall of Detroit. This book uncovers how things were done in Detroit during the Kilpatrick administration, and what it cost: lives, careers and multi-million dollar lawsuits. Tamara Greene was gunned down on the streets of Detroit at the age of twenty-seven. It was a drive-by shooting that happened April 30th, 2003. The Detroit Police Department would like us to believe that she was not the intended victim. Multiple people claimed Tamara had confided in them that she feared for her life. Their statements refute that theory. Tamara was rumored to have danced at a party hosted by the ex-mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick. The story of Tamara's murder is woven into a web of politics - shrouded in innuendo - and includes a cover-up of epic proportions. Investigating detectives feared for their lives. Evidence was removed, long standing careers were lost and 10 years later, it has yet to be properly investigated.

Great book it kept my attention

Well written. I couldn't stop reading once I started. Hopefully her murder will be solved. Prayers and justice for her family

Too many factual errors destroyed credibility of the author.

The police do know Greene's killer and why--none has anything to do with the rumored sex party. The suspect's name and motive were revealed in depositions by city's attorneys in defense of the city in a civil case brought by Norman Yatooma that was eventually thrown out by the court
