This book covered several issues at once, and was quite the ride. The personal experience of racism in the police department and community was so prevalent in this book. Additionally, there was a string of murders perpetrated against white members of the community. These people were targeted randomly over a six month period. The need for black police officers to help solve these murders was interesting. I read this book because it was on The Last Podcast on the Left reading list, and it was not disappointing at all. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in racial issues or true crime.
