A BLACK FATHER. A WHITE FATHER.
TWO MURDERED SONS. A QUEST FOR VENGEANCE.

Ike Randolph has been out of jail for 15 years, with not so much as a speeding ticket since. But a black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah's white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss.

Derek's father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed that his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though...and he wants to know who killed his boy.

Ike and Buddy Lee, two ex-cons with little in common other than a criminal past and a love for their dead sons, band together in a desperate desire for retribution. In their quest to do better for their children in death than they did in life, they must confront their prejudices about their sons - and each other - as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt them.

A provocative revenge thriller and an achingly tender story of redemption, this novel is a ferocious portrait of grief; for those loved and lost, and for mistakes than can never truly be undone.

i really enjoyed this composition. the story grips you from the start and hardly never looses it's footing (apart from the Showdown which I rate a B- ). Apart from that the story is a disenchanting and revealing portrait of discrimination, nuancing the racism against African Americans versus the homophobia LGBT citizens must face.

a badass story and a reflection of discrimination

Great story - a bit tough but with a lot of wisdom behind.
And the narrator is a great class of his own!

Just great

Too much glorification of violence and violent men… makes it hard to listen to. Pity because the story, setting and characters were promising.
