“Golden deftly portrays the life-altering consequences of an unfortunate act, the threats to Blake’s family and the victim’s. But she also artfully reflects on police brutality from inside the black middle class, where neither affluence nor good intentions offer sufficient protection.”

Booklist

Acclaimed author Marita Golden has a "rare gift for the poetry of language" (San Francisco Chronicle). African-American police officer and family man Carson Blake pulls over a young black man for speeding. When the man reaches for his cell phone, Carson thinks he's going for a weapon and shoots to kill. Now a promising life has been snuffed out, and Carson must begin a painful journey toward redemption. "Marita Golden writes with a fine hand."-Newsday
