Summary
In Atlanta in the late 1940s, the integration of black police officers into the force is proving to be challenging. White civilians don<U+2019>t respect their authority, and black civilians don<U+2019>t trust that they can protect them. Lucius Boggs and Tommy Smith are men with heavy burdens on their shoulders. Every move they make is examined. When the body of a young black woman is found, they will put everything on the line to gain justice for a woman who turns into a symbol of all that is wrong with their town. Despite its historical setting, so many elements of this tale seem timely, and readers will have much to think about after turning the last page. -- Sharon Layburn for LibraryReads
