A brilliant novel from one of America's finest literary crime
writers... On a hot summer afternoon in Washington DC 1972, three
white teenagers, stoned and fearless, drive a stolen car into a
rough, black neighbourhood. Taunting local black kids through the
car window, they speed off to what they think is safety. They find
themselves trapped in a dead-end street whilst an angry mob
gathers. In the ensuing chaos, two of the white boys manage to
escape, but Billy - the third friend - is shot dead. Thirty-five
years later, one of these men reaches out to another, opening a
door that could lead to salvation. However, another survivor of
that day is now out of prison, and is looking for reparation in any
form he can find it . . .
