When Dr. Elwin Carter is confronted in his Watts clinic by two boys
terrified by the brutal murder of their friend, his investigations
lead him far beyond the usual suspicions of drugs and gang violence
to an apocalyptic discovery of just how far the government will go
to keep the lid on the country's riot-torn cities. Combining action
and suspense with political insight, this 1976 novel presents a
frighteningly prophetic and disturbing picture of the subterranean
war between the races in America. "A gripping and terrifying
novel." --Chicago Bulletin "Timely, politically charged and
necessary reading. Just the kind of book that will knock us out of
our complacent '70s attitude about black folks and justice."
