An impressive literary mystery that\u2019s as entertaining as it is thoughtful\u2026 A triumph.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young man\u2019s investigation into his dead father\u2019s past unearths some surprising revelations in Robinson\u2019s stunning latest. It\u2019s after the death of his father, famous reporter Russell Blaze, that Cody Blaze finds the latter\u2019s unfinished memoir. As Cody begins to read the journal, each snippet he gleans leads him deeper into a complex maze. Cody must piece together the clues if he wants to unravel his father\u2019s killer. Robinson knows how to evoke overwhelming pain and grief and gives his characters complex lives, rendered in well-crafted prose. He is excellent when it comes to structuring a plot with plenty of satisfying twists. The investigation and its ultimate destination are thoroughly gripping, and the final twist will surprise even eagle-eyed readers. However, the mystery is peripheral to the poignant exploration of love, loss, hate, trauma, violence, and racial disparity. At its core, the novel examines the questions of what lies beneath one’s best intentions and worst impulses. Beautifully written, dark, and propulsive, the book makes for a standout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
