Murder. Mystery. Politics. Romance. Brian Anderson is the quintessential handsome, self-centered jock at Strom Thurmond High School in Spartanburg, SC and finds himself torn between peer pressure and racial strife during the days of Vietnam and integration. When his attorney-father defends a black woman accused of murdering her husband, he struggles to learn who he really is and what he really believes. More trouble comes his way when an innocent a black man is hanged by the Ku Klux Klan and he comes across critical evidence that could land him in big trouble with the Klan, a secret he keeps until adulthood. Follow Brian on his journey from reckless teen-aged shenanigans and romance to the jungles of Vietnam and into the scandalous world of South Carolina politics. More than a coming-of-age novella that takes you back to the stormy 60s, this book alternately tugs at your heartstrings and boils your blood.
