Synopsis

Where is Harlan James?He is the indicted, bail-jumping leader of Banbury's militant Black Hearts who has gone underground … but whose rage, still heard on tape, is edging the city towards interracial terror. Harlan James calls for violence—for black protests, demonstrations, drastic political action against the city's white leaders. But did he also call for—or commit—murder? It is a top priority job for Mike McCall, a new breed of crime-fighter, whose cases plunge him into the crises of modern America. When a prominent white official is shot to death, McCall must find the killer—or face open racial warfare!

About Ellery Queen

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn—Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905–1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905–1971)—to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors’ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
