Book Description:
A brutal murder rocks a city. An innocent man stands accused. And justice is the next to die.
In 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.

A volatile situation in San Francisco between black and white citizens seems to be the result of one man's actions. Homicide detective Abe Glitsky must find his way through the maze of personalities and agendas to find the truth.
Within the main plot is a murder mystery and stories within stories within stories. Quite an interesting book.
When an angry white mob poured out of the bar on San Francisoc's Geary Street and surrounded an innocent black man, Kevin Shea was the only one who tried to fight through the crowd and stop the violence. His heroic attempt failed, leaving him bruised and battered. And now, thanks to a deceptive news photo taken during the melee, he is wanted for the murder himself--and the real culprits have threatened his life if he says a word.
