Description
In the aftermath of a shocking incident, a young man recounts the night everything changed, insisting that the truth is more complicated than the headlines suggest. As his story unfolds through shifting perspectives and carefully chosen details, the reader is drawn into a tense, character-driven mystery about loyalty, memory, and the stories communities tell to make sense of harm. With vivid realism and emotionally precise storytelling, this novel explores how race, class, and power shape what people believe—and what they’re willing to say out loud. Kekla Magoon’s sharp, suspenseful style turns a single event into a broader meditation on accountability, grief, and the cost of being heard.
