Revenge or justice? Fighting against racism or highly racist themselves? Anger is never a good adviser and can easily spiral out of control.
It took me some time to get into this novel but it was worth keeping on. Excellent characters, excellent suspense and incredibly impartial, ultimately condemning all forms of racism in whatever disguise.
My only regret is the end, too many loose ends. But I guess that's how reality is. There are always loose ends and no happy endings for all.

"A fresh and fierce new voice to crime fiction. .. a stunning book that takes the reader on an intense and harrowing journey that is truly unforgettable. Consider me a big fan." — Don Winslow , New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel, The Force and City on Fire

Perfect. Important. A must-read.

I was super excited to read this book based on the intriguing cover (I felt it was giving Donald Glover type vibes), but then it sat on my shelf unread for a couple weeks because I peeked inside and I just wasn’t hooked the way I thought I’d be.

It’s a *good* book but that‘s about it… maybe I’ll revisit later on this year before it’s published?

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.

I asked for this book based on WInslow’s blurb but I don’t think it lived up to Wainslow’s prose. Mayfield can write but the book jumped around and was hard to follow. Wish author’s would write in a more linear fashion. Not a bad book but not a great one. Still will look for Mayfield’s next.
