As a Black cop in the LAPD, Trevor Finnegan is used to being an outsider at work and in society. Just four years after starting with the department, he's now a homicide detective, and when he's given the case of a murdered Black police academy recruit, he knows that his role is partially to find the killer, but mostly to be the Black face of the LAPD in a particularly tricky and highly public case. But as he follows the clues and gets pushback from his superiors, Finn is having increasing trouble balancing his career ambitions and his moral code.
Wow, this is an incredible mystery novel. It faces the complexities of being a Black cop in today's world head-on, without preaching or judging, while still providing an intriguing and innately readable plot. I was thoroughly impressed by this book, and I will be recommending it to everyone I meet.
