Synopsis

In San Francisco—a city of tolerance and hope—everything came apart. One man died at the hands of another. The next victim was killed by a mob. Now fires burn in the night, helicopters throb through the air, and politicians, lawyers and cops vie for the remnants of power. Somewhere in the once-placid streets of San Francisco, a young man is on the run, charged by the media with a crime he didn't commit, hounded by demagogues, hunted by a desperate police department. One cop knows that Kevin Shea is innocent of a brutal racial murder. An ambitious politician will use Shea for her own ends. And a down-and-out lawyer is all that stands between Kevin Shea and an even more atrocious crime. For when there's no law left, justice is the only hope.

Goodreads review by Perri

Even though the publication of this book is 1996, it feels very apropos for today's political climate. Reacting to what they see as judicial injustice, a mob targets a black man. A white man is mistakenly identified as the ring leader, and is targeted to represent racial injustice in general. Politi......more

He pushes his way through the crowd and attemps to grab the victims legs to prevent his death, but he is too late. The arrival of the police causes everyone to scatter, including Kevin--it is too late to......more
