The beloved, award-winning author of the Easy Rawlins series comes to town with his first mystery in a new series starring former cop Joe “King” Oliver. Working alongside his tough-yet-sweet daughter in his sleepy PI agency “King” has the chance to bring down the corrupt system that not only wrongly imprisoned him years earlier, but has now also ensnared a young, black militant journalist accused of killing two on-duty police officers. “King” knows he must seize the opportunity to clear both their names, no matter the cost. The result is a modern story steeped in the nuanced history of noir, and the inescapable way that race and violence color every corner of the American justice system.
