It’s 1986, the heart of the Cold War, and Marie Mitchell is an intelligence officer with the FBI. She’s brilliant, but she’s also a young Black woman working in an old boys’ club. Her career has stalled out, she’s overlooked for every high-profile squad, and her days are filled with monotonous paperwork. So when she’s given the opportunity to join a shadowy task force aimed at undermining Thomas Sankara, the charismatic revolutionary president of Burkina Faso whose Communist ideology has made him a target for American intervention, she says yes.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. Jimmy Lee hails from a heathen mix of thieves, moonshiners, drunkards, and general anti-socials that for decades have clung to both the hardscrabble hills and the iron bars of every jail cell in the region. This life, Jimmy Lee believes, is his destiny, someday working with his drunkard father at the sawmill, or sitting next to his arsonist brother in the penitentiary.

In this near-future Southern city plagued by fenced-in ghettos and police violence, more and more residents are turning to this experimental medical procedure. Like any father, our narrator just wants the best for his son, Nigel, a biracial boy.

Writing in the tradition of Dennis Lehane and Greg Iles, Attica Locke, a powerful new voice in American fiction, delivers a brilliant debut thriller that readers will not soon forget. Jay Porter is hardly the lawyer he set out to be. His most promising client is a low-rent call girl and he runs his fledgling law practice out of a dingy strip mall. But he's long since made peace with not living the American Dream and carefully tucked away his darkest sins: the guns, the FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.

Publisher's Summary
The year is 1964, and Carl Gordon is an ill-prepared New York assistant US attorney who has lied his way into a transfer to Stockville, Alabama, where he is supposed to monitor and enforce the Civil Rights Act. In a matter of days, the Ku Klux Klan takes aim at him, the outside agitator.
Carl has agreed to represent Oleatha Geary, a black family matriarch who has inherited a mansion in an all-white, race-restricted neighborhood. Carl and Oleatha are engulfed in litigation that turns deadly. Meanwhile, Carl and Oleatha's daughter, Lenore, find themselves in a blossoming romance opposed by everyone, white and black.
Heroism for hatred, controversy in death, friendship, and forbidden love fill the minutes of this remarkable tale of societal ills, culture clashes and political change.

A great Read set in difficult times.
Black Hearts White Minds: A Carl Gordon Legal Thriller, Volume 1.. This book is set in Alabama in the early 60,s. It is disturbing in places, it is uplifting in places. Great character development & great storyline. The narration is excellent and fully portrays the anger and indifference and frustration of the times.
A 5* read/listen, not an easy read but well worth the effort.

great look back...
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I I really enjoyed a look back on how history might have been. Character development was good. Though there are a lot of characters in this book. It was nice seeing how they all come together. I'm extremely happy to know if things are no longer like this. Part of it was difficult to listen to just because it's so hard to think that life was once that way. I would've given this book 5 stars but in my personal opinion it talked way too much about basketball. I know nothing about basketball and don't really care to hear two chapters full of it.
Narration was good but could get annoying on the echoing side effects when they were thinking to themselves.

Great Story, Annoying Sound Effects
I received a copy of this book from AudioBoom. I enjoyed the story, looking at racism in a different time period, thru a different lens. I especially liked the idea of the boys' basketball tournament. I would have liked a little more time on character development as I never really knew what was up with some of the characters.
What I really found not only distracting, but incredibly annoying, were the sound effects- the echo effect when a character is "thinking" was horrible and totally unnecessary. I didn't like the effects when speakers were using a microphone, but these were simply distracting, not annoying. Seriously- edit the audio and get rid of those echo effects!
