Where is Harlan James? He was the indicted, bail-jumping leader of Banbury’s militant Black Hearts—who had gone underground… but whose rage, still heard on tape, was edging the city towards interracial terror. Harlan James called for violence—for black protests, demonstrations, drastic political action against the city’s white leaders. But did he also call for—or commit—murder? It was a top-priority job for Mike McCall, a new breed of crime-fighter, whose cases plunge him into the crises of modern America… A prominent white official is shot to death and Mike must find the killer—or face open racial warfare!
