Description
The novel follows Ike Randolph and Buddy Lee, two fathers from very different backgrounds—one Black, one white—whose adult sons, recently married to each other, are brutally murdered. Despite their strained relationship and past prejudices, Ike and Buddy Lee join forces to seek justice for their sons. As they navigate the dangerous underworld of their town, the story explores themes of grief, redemption, fatherhood, and forgiveness, while also confronting racism, homophobia, and the legacies of violence.
Cosby’s writing is fast-paced, raw, and emotionally charged, balancing thrilling action sequences with moments of tender human insight. The novel is both a suspenseful page-turner and a story about two flawed men coming to terms with their own identities and histories in order to protect the memory of their children.
