His crime? Being black and mentally ill.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following that unwarranted death, anger, and violence erupts on the streets, leading to the murders of two protestors who were marching around the downtown federal building.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Detectives Sarah Kingsly and Angel Johnson are thrust into the investigation of those murders, while desperately clinging to the threads of their partnership.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The shootings also raise questions about whether the alt-right white supremacists that invaded the city with their guns and inflammatory rhetoric are responsible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Will more people get killed? <\/span><\/span>Is there more than one person out there with an agenda?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When a member of the team, Ryan O\u2019Donnell, is shot while attempting to prevent looting, the tension in the city, and the department, ratchets up even higher. And it deeply affects Angel who\u2019s been pretending she really isn\u2019t falling for this white man. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Angel joins the protests to take a stand against racism in the city and within the department; an action that puts her job, her relationship with Ryan, and her fragile partnership with Sarah at risk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For her part, Sarah comes to realize that she is not as enlightened as she thought she was, and both women just hope they can come through the personal and professional challenges and end up with something that resembles a true partnership.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While catching the killers in the process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CLICK TO PRE-ORDER<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When she grew up, she started her professional career as a journalist, writing newspaper columns, feature stories, and short fiction for regional and national publications.
