✦ Synopsis

It took a few hours on a rainy winter night for a black woman known as "Mad Annie" to die in a gutter. It will take twenty years for the woman who found her to shape her neighbors' racism, the indifference of the police, and her own rage into the truth. "Harrowing...These complex characters can be cunning, deceitful, even mad-which is exactly what makes them such absorbing company." (New York Times Book Review) "Builds tension masterfully." (The Wall Street Journal)
