Description

Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1921. A city torn apart by violence and injustice. In this powerful novel, Jewell Parker Rhodes weaves together history, mysticism, and murder to create a harrowing tale of dreams and violence gone awry. When Joe Samuels is accused of rape, he must use his skills as a magician to escape the bloodthirsty mob that's hunting him. Meanwhile, Mary Keane, a young woman with a dark past, must find the courage to help exonerate the man she accused. As the National Guard clashes with a small band of black men determined to defend their town, the city teeters on the brink of chaos. This is a story of racism, vigilantism, and the struggle for justice in one of the darkest chapters of twentieth century America.
