2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Its July, 1975, and an overworked Chicago police force receives a report that an 85 year old white man was attacked and killed by a gang of black youths in bucolic Burnham Park. Amid public outrage, Mayor Richard J. Daley commands the police to find the killers fast and make the park safe again. Fortunately for the police, James Oversteet, a brave twelve-year-old boy, steps forward and identifies five of the six assailants and arrests are made. But the detectives bungle the case leaving the judge no choice but to release the accused. This startling turn of events jeopardizes the young witnesss life, forces the Overstreet family into witness protection, and creates a nightmare that will haunt James forever. Fast forward thirty years. The young man is now Maricopa Countys most feared prosecutor. But his life is about to be turned upside down when paths from the past cross into the present, veering toward a shocking climax. In the end, will justice be served or will revenge prevail?

Day 26: Set In Your City, State, or Country—My hometown shelf is woefully insufficient to contain my Hyde Park/Chicago/IL pride. The "sports" cubby next to this includes both White Sox (me) and Cubs (DH); other hometown books live throughout the house. While most of the collection is non-fiction, Chasing Vermeer and Identity: Lost include Hyde Park settings in their storytelling. #RiotGrams #SetInYourCityStateCountry #Southside #HydeParkForever

Day 16 #riotgrams: I met Pascal's wife on a flight from Chicago to Phoenix. We talked the entire flight. Identity Lost, set in Chicago's south side and AZ was in its finishing stages at that time. I won the ARC by being Pascal's 200th FB page fan, and dug right in. Pascal and I struck up a friendship long-distance, first meeting in-person during the June 2011 book tour (when I bought the hardcover). #setnearwhereyoulive #SOMETIMEStalktostrangers
