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.

"I've read some of the Dismas Hardy series and have been introduced to Abe Glitsky...thoroughly enjoyed this one about SF's issues of race...a wonderful condemnation of political correctness and racial politics as well as a good tense mystery...I want more!!!" — Mark (5 out of 5 stars)

" Somebody trying to help a lynching victim is wrongly blamed for the crime. Didn't get far, since I hate that kind of premise. "
" It was good...I couldn't put it down in the end...liked the twist. "
" otstanding story. great development of Glitsky character from Hardy series. "
" How real this feels in our political system today.....sad but true. "
" I'd never read Lescroart, buy he is a favorite with library patrons. I guess I can see the appeal, but I found it predictable. I listened to the book on audio and probably would not have finished it if I'd been reading it instead. "
" Had a hard time starting the book because of the strong anti-white sentiment but was told the book ends well so I gave it a try. It was worth reading. "
" Started out with the backstories on the characters becoming almost boring, until the Author gets into his "legalspeak/copspeak" Only then does the storyline become compelling & fun to read. As usual the story contains a couple of unpredictable twists. A fun read! "
" This book drew me in from the very beginning. I would actually have to stop myself from telling the main character(I forgot his name )To just turn himself in before things got out of hand. Very capivating and a great page turner. "
" An absolutely riveting thriller. "
" really good idea, but done too simply with far too much sex than i am used to in a crime novel(of course, i havent read many, either) "
" a very well-written, intriguing story.John Lescroart is a wonderful writer and his characters are perfectly developed.I'm glad I have so many more of his books to read! "
" Enjoyable story from a promising legal / crime series.. "
" Very intense and very satisfying, this book touched on issues of race and politics that are not out of place in today's world. One of my favorite books by this author. "
" Well, I think the novel was way off compared to what my moral beliefs. And i expected the story to have more of a surprising ending but near the end, it was evidential who had killed the character. "
" Enjoyed it. Kind of fun to have Abe be the main character. I haven't read them all in order and this filled in some blanks on his relationship with an ADA and the Senator. Good one. "
" Abe Glisky mystery In San Francisco—a city of tolerance and hope—everything came apart. Kevin Shea is on the run, charged by the media with a crime he didn't commit, "
" I can see this book in real life all too clearly. It was a good read. "
