Then Came Four
Edward Izzi, author
In 1964, the vibrant streets of Detroit echoed with the soulful rhythms of Motown and the revolutionary beats of the British Invasion. But beneath this lively veneer, a sinister force was at play. ‘Then Came Four,’ a gripping crime thriller, takes us into the heart of a city divided by color and justice. In the midst of the civil rights era, Detroit’s police department was a looming shadow over the city, especially the notorious ‘Tac Squad’ known as ‘The Big Four.’ Officers Mancini, Savage, Laughlin, and Markowitz patrolled the streets, imposing an unspoken curfew that preyed upon African Americans. Their reign of terror left a trail of injustice – from wrongful arrests to unspeakable violence. Amidst this turmoil, two unlikely friends emerge – Anthony ‘Tony’ Fiorello and Wesley Norris, law students from starkly different backgrounds. Their bond, forged in the hallways of the University of Detroit, becomes a beacon of hope. Tony, a rich kid from Grosse Pointe, and Wesley, a brilliant African American student, vow to stand by each other against all odds. As Wesley rises to become Wayne County’s assistant prosecutor, he uncovers the horrific crimes of The Big Four. His pursuit of justice sparks a dangerous game of cat and mouse, culminating in the infamous Detroit Riots of 1967. But when Wesley is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the battle for justice takes a personal turn for Tony. ‘Then Came Four’ is not just a tale of crime and punishment. It’s a story about the power of friendship, the fight for justice, and the spirit of a city that refused to be broken. Journey through the dark alleys of Detroit, where the line between right and wrong blurs, and the quest for justice comes at a deadly cost.
