Wander in the Dark was so good.  Oh, that school pissed me off.  Race will always be a factor sadly. The plot was suspenseful, realistic and entertaining.  The characters were well done also.  Jumata Emil has very good knowledge of American society today (past too) and the criminal justice system.  This book was real world issues.  I didn't mind the essayist parts to describe them.  Fantastic follow-up to The Black Queen, which I enjoyed as well.  What you got next, because I probably read it.
