- Summary:
- A black teenager in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, is chased by a gang of young white men, caught, and beaten to death. Rather than sensationalize the murder of Yusuf Hawkins, first-time novelist Nicholas Montemarano focuses on its aftermath. Moving back and forth in time, with direct and intense prose, Montemarano achieves a cumulative intensity the reader will not soon forget.
