Smokey Dalton and Jimmy, the young boy he protects, have settled
into a new life on Chicago's South Side. But when Smokey gets hired
to investigate the death of a black man in a local park, he
realizes that the murder might not be an isolated case. The Chicago
Police Department doesn't really investigate black deaths,
particularly near the South Side. Smokey thinks the case easy,
until he digs deeper into the history of the area, a history that
includes gangs, racism, and secrets so dark they threaten his very
existence. Chosen as one of the top ten mystery novels of the year
by the Chicago Tribune, Thin Walls shows why Publisher's Weekly
gave it a starred review, and Booklist calls it "another fine entry
in an outstanding series." "Somebody needs to say that Kris
Nelscott is engaged in an ongoing fictional study of a thorny era
in American political and racial history. If that's not enough to
get 'serious' critics and readers to pay attention to her, it's
their loss." -Charles Taylor, Salon.com
