A race to save a hated man. And a city from itself . . .
Kevin Shea hasn't done much with his life so far. But when the San Francisco bar crowd he finds himself in turns into a murderous, racist mob, he tries to do the right thing. He fails, and Arthur Wade, an innocent black lawyer, is lynched. The next day everyone's TV shows a photograph of Kevin apparently trying to hand Wade. As San Francisco explodes, Shea is suddenly its most hunted, hated man . . .
It falls to Abe Glitsky, the city's black Jewish head of homicide, to lead the hunt - to the death, if necessary. But Glitsky doesn't like being leant on by anybody, be it the politically ambitious D.A., his attractive assistant, or her mother, California's high-profile black Senator who knew Abe from their college days. Glitsky is determined to prevent another innocent victim being sacrificed, even if it means fighting his way through racial politics, his department's demands - and, the most difficult battle of all, the pull of his own past.
