Brief Synopsis: This is a story about two families, one African-American, the other Korean-American, living in LA. Part of the tale takes place in 1991, the other is present day; both timelines dealing with racial tensions, police violence, and the aftermath of a terrible crime.
Thoughts: I found this book on the staff recommendation shelf in one of my favorite bookstores. I've never heard of the title or the author but something about its cover and synopsis just spoke to me. It probably didn't hurt that I just finished binging Bosch on Amazon and was still looking for an LA crime type of story. I love a good tale of revenge and redemption, not to mention excellent character depth and development. What a discovery on my part--truly an underrated gem!
