Story4.5 out of 5 stars 97
For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins when a shocking act of negligence results in homicide. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and the DA is listening. It is Butch Karp's unpleasant job to give the public what it wants - a thorough administration of hard-line justice - by prosecuting a poor, Hispanic, fifteen-year-old mother for murder. Complicating matters further is Butch's wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, who has decided to return to law.

The anti-busing riots of 1974 forever changed Southie, Boston's working-class Irish community, branding it as a violent, racist enclave. Michael Patrick MacDonald grew up in Southie's Old Colony housing project. He describes the way this world within a world felt to the troubled yet keenly gifted observer he was even as a child. But the threats - poverty, drugs, a shadowy gangster world - were real. All Souls is heartbreaking testimony to lives lost too early, and the story of how a place so filled with pain could still be "the best place in the world".

Editorial reviews
Washington, D.C., is shadowed by unsettling racial tensions in this raw and gritty whodunit. The audiobook The Lost Brother follows simultaneous investigations of a double murder by aging PI Kevin Kellogg and the morally questionable militant Khalid, who are hired by the suspects. The victims of said murder are Henry James, a prominent African American prosecutor, and Jessie, his Caucasian wife.
Author Bargain Prince does a knock up job of crafting an intense crime thriller, which also looks to examine profoundly issues of race in America. Nick Sullivan builds great atmosphere with his performance, thanks to his vivid voice and tight narration.
Publisher's summary
Two investigations attempt to locate the murderer of a prominent Black lawyer in Washington, D.C.: one led by a private detective who has been hired by a white power group, and the other by the victim's brother, who has hired the local black power group.

My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

The anti-busing riots of 1974 forever changed Southie, Boston's working-class Irish community, branding it as a violent, racist enclave. Michael Patrick MacDonald grew up in Southie's Old Colony housing project. He describes the way this world within a world felt to the troubled yet keenly gifted observer he was even as a child. But the threats - poverty, drugs, a shadowy gangster world - were real. All Souls is heartbreaking testimony to lives lost too early, and the story of how a place so filled with pain could still be "the best place in the world".
