But all that was found of Devon Walker was his brutally murdered body--and the bodies of twelve other African American teenagers, all discarded like trash in a mass grave. Each had been reported missing. And none had been investigated.As simmering racial tensions explode into violence, Justin finds himself caught in the tide. And as he gives voice to the discontent plaguing the city's forgotten and ignored, he vows to search for the killer who preys upon them.

Thriller about a community where young black males are disappearing and the cops don't seem to care enough to look into what's happening. The story has a few other plots going on as well, such as a homeless man being targeted by the cops, and a young girl being bullied at school.

I loved the book for its stance on racial issues present in today's society, but the writing was a bit dry and predictable.

I was pulled right into this kindle unlimited find about a street lawyer from a prominent family investigating the disappearance of a boy who had a lengthy juvenile record. The twists and turns, both personal and professional, made this compulsively readable. The mystery had me guessing till the resolution; it wrapped up a little too fast and neat, but not so much that it was unbelievable. A pick, and I can‘t wait to read the next in the series.
