The third novel in the acclaimed Virgil Tibbs mystery series
When a nine-year-old boy shoots an older child, a race war is ignited
between militant blacks and racist whites of 1960s Pasadena. Follow
black homicide detective Virgil Tibbs as he investigates the scene of
the conflict involving riots, brutalities, a chase through Disneyland,
and a heartwarming--and heartbreaking--scene that takes place in the
baseball stadium of the former Los Angeles Angels.
Here you will find childhood gone awry, racism that ought to shock but
in context does not (we know it too well), and political conflicts that
add fuel to the fire.
