1975. America has lost its war in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Racially-tinged riots are tearing the city of Boston apart. The
politics and counterculture of the 1960s is disintegrating into
nothing more than sex, drugs and rock and roll. The Boston Red Sox
are on one of their improbable runs toward a postseason appearance.
In a suburban town in Maryland, a young couple is murdered and
another young man is accused. The couple are white and the accused
is black. It is up to his friends and family to prove he is
innocent. This is a story of suburban ennui, race, murder and
injustice. Religion and politics, liberal lawyers and racist cops.
In Short Order Frame Up, Ron Jacobs has written a piece of crime
fiction that exposes the wound that is US racism. Two cultures
existing side by side and across generations--a river very few dare
to cross. His characters work and live with and next to each other,
often unaware of the other's real life. When the murder occurs,
however, those people that care about the man charged must cross
that river and meet somewhere in between in order to free him from
(what is to them) an obvious miscarriage of justice.
