"Minneapolis, May 25, 2020: George Floyd’s death while in the custody of police unleashes a violent orgy of arson, looting, gunfire, and mindless destruction by an enraged primeval mob. Not content to vandalize local businesses, the rabble burns a post office, bank, stores, cars, and ultimately torches a precinct building. The city’s smoldering embers hide a multitude of sins, including a reign of terror buried for years until a veteran newspaper reporter looks beyond the recent chaos to unearth a secret evil. Sometimes at odds with his most trusted source—a lieutenant leading the department’s homicide unit—journalist and detective work together to uncover the truth." -- Author's website.
