No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Racism never got off the bus . . . On a rainy night in Houston, in a ratty apartment as dark as his dreams, retired bus driver Frank Granger wakes in a cold sweat convinced a stranger with a gun lurks at the foot of his bed.
And he's right.
In this riveting tale of suspense and revenge, Carter offers a vivid look back at one of the darkest times in our nation's history.
BONUS STORY: Road Gamble

" From the very first line, this suspenseful short story about a man's dangerous encounter with a mysterious man on a motorcycle on a rainy mountain highway grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go. Originally appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, June 2007.
