When a popular high school senior is shot by police following a late night robbery, chaos ensues. The actions of the officer are immediately called into question. Amid community protests, political grandstanding, department leaks, and reluctant witnesses, Byron and his team must work quickly to find the missing pieces.

Clever and well written

I enjoy mysteries but usually not police-based ones. This one remains interesting throughout with strong character development and an intriguing plot.

That's not how I wanted it to end...

I loved the story. The characters felt real and believable. The story line was interesting and the pace held my attention. The ending is excellent, but it's not how I wanted it to end. It moved me to tears at one point, pulled into the story, envisioning it in my mind, feeling all the feels. The narrator wasn't my favorite but he wasn't bad.

Kept my interest

I enjoyed storyline, not too many twists and turns making it easier to follow along.

Cheesy Story

This is one of the worst books I’ve experienced. The story line was bad, the reader using different voices was bad.
