โ Scribed by Carter, Scott William
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.
