Edna Buchanan: Contents Under Pressure (1992)

From the Publisher:
When a highly respected black figure dies in a high-speed police chase, Miami police reporter Britt Montero senses that the story isn't as simple as the police report. As she searches for the truth, Britt unearths a trail of evidence that points to a cover-up and a possible murder by several of Miami's "finest." But the city is a powder keg, and Britt's report could be the spark that sets off a bloody riot.
