Synopsis

"A girl is dead because some white guy didn't want to see them kiss …"

When Jenna and Damon first began dating, neither worried too much about the other's skin color. After all, Somerset is a pretty liberal college environment. But when a black couple is attacked by a white man on campus, race relations become cause
for frenzied peace rallies, protests, and debate for the entire student body.

Suddenly, Jenna has her hands full investigating the attack—and defending her interracial romance …

Then a white student turns up dead at the hands of a black assailant.

As racial tension reaches a fever pitch on campus, the crimes continue, growing increasingly brutal. Strangely, in each case no two witnesses can form the same description of the perpetrator.

The people are looking for two young men. Until one assailant, pronounced dead at the crime scene, disappears …
