Mid-December 2008. Barack Obama has just been elected; all New York is ecstatic, especially Harlem. Over a freezing night a few weeks later, detective Artie Cohen gets a overdue call from his ex girlfriend, Lily Hanes, begging for his help. Lily has been living at the Louis Armstrong Rentals, one of Harlem's great complexes, while working on Obama's marketing campaign; now her Russian neighbor, Marianna Simonova, has passed away, and Lily fears she's responsible and needs Artie's Russian links. Over a weekend when the location is locked in by snow and frigid, with the financial marketplaces tanking, one after another people at the Armstrong expire. Artie, out of his element, a white detective in a black world, is drawn inexorably in to the realm of Sugars Hill and the Armstrong, where almost everybody, aside from the real-estate creators, seems locked in the past. Working to solve the murders, Artie attempts desperately to win Lily back again. Blood Count up is a murder puzzle, a love storyline, and a tale about NY, race, real property, money, and music, with an concluding one could never predict.
