Description
Smoke Kings by Jahmal Mayfield is a gripping crime novel that delves into themes of racism and retribution. When Nate's little cousin is murdered, he leads his grief-stricken friends on a mission to confront the descendants of long-ago perpetrators of hate crimes, forcing them to pay reparations to a community fund.
The results are not always peaceful, and Nate's world spirals out of control when they target the wrong man. As tensions rise, Mayfield masterfully weaves together elements of noir fiction and social commentary, raising important questions about justice and revenge.
