From critically acclaimed author of Motor unit City, Detroit comes alive in a robust and thrilling book established amid the chaos of the 1960s contest riots and the serenity of baseball's beginning day. Willie Bledsoe, once an idealistic young dark-colored activist, is now a burnt-out circumstance. After leaving a snug berth at Tuskegee Institute to become listed on the Scholar Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, he is becoming bitterly disillusioned with the civil rights movement and its own leaders. He results home to Alabama to try to write a memoir about his time in the cultural whirlwind, but the words fail to come. The wonder return of his Vietnam veteran brother in the spring of 1967 gives Willie an opportunity to drive a load of smuggled guns to the Motor unit City - and make enough money to jump-start his stalled dream of writing his memoir. There, at Tiger Stadium on Beginning Day of the 1968 football season - postponed two times in deference to the funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr. - Willie learns some terrifying news: the Detroit police are still investigating the last unsolved murder from the bloody, apocalyptic riot of the previous summertime, and a white cop known as Frank Doyle will not rest until the case is fixed. And Willie is his best suspect. Charge Morris' rich and thrilling book sets Doyle's hunt amid the annals of 1 of America's most tortured and amazing metropolitan areas, as Doyle and Willie struggle with Detroit's profound racial divide, with revenge and forgiveness, and with the realization that justice is hardly ever attainable - and hardly ever just.
