The Turnaround

A brilliant novel from one of America's finest literary crime writers...

On a hot summer afternoon in Washington DC 1972 three white teenagers stoned and fearless drive a stolen car into a rough black neighbourhood. Taunting local black kids through the car window they speed off to what they think is safety.

They find themselves trapped in a dead-end street whilst an angry mob gathers. In the ensuing chaos two of the white boys manage to escape but Billy - the third friend - is shot dead.

Thirty-five years later one of these men reaches out to another opening a door that could lead to salvation. However another survivor of that day is now out of prison and is looking for reparation in any form he can find it . . .
