Another great book from one of my favorite authors. Terrific legal fiction set between 1954 and 1974. Intelligently written, it is full of historical figures, conspiracy theories and intrigue. It has plenty of twists and turns. Eddie Wesley and Aurelia Treene are complex, fully developed characters.

This is definitely a page turner, but "The Emperor of Ocean Park" is still my favorite. Make no mistake though, this is no light read. I highly recommend.

Great book by Stephen Carter.

Great journey from the mid-50's to the mid-70's including lots of political intrigue, the civil rights movement, Vietnam. The main characters are very well drawn and believable.

We learn the facts about the underlying "mystery" right along side the main characters - no sneak peeks from the narrator! You'll be left guessing right until the end about who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
