About this listen
The murder of a police recruit pins a black LAPD detective in a deadly web where race, corruption, violence, and cover-ups intersect in this relevant, razor-sharp novel of suspense.
Black rookie cop Trevor “Finn” Finnegan aspires to become a top-ranking officer in the Los Angeles Police Department and fix a broken department. A fast-track promotion to detective in the coveted Robbery-Homicide Division puts him closer to achieving his goal.
Four years later, calls for police accountability rule the headlines. The city is teeming with protests for racial justice. When the body of a murdered black academy recruit is found in the Angeles National Forest, Finn is tasked to investigate.
As pressure mounts to solve the crime and avoid a PR nightmare, Finn scours the underbelly of a volatile city where power, violence, and race intersect. But it’s Finn’s past experience as a beat cop that may hold the key to solving the recruit’s murder. The price? The end of Finn’s career...or his life.

Critic reviews
“Harrowing evidence for Spike Lee’s famous claim that everything that happens in America is about race.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Clark’s ripped-from-the-headlines police procedural should make readers uncomfortable. It’s a frightening, tragic tale.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“This is a smart, suspenseful police procedural with a timely plot.” (Publishers Weekly)

*Act of Remorse*
Trevor Finnegan Aka “Finn” is a rookie police officer working in Los Angeles. There is a lot of racial tension in the city and he witnesses something that confirms racial problems within the force with some of the officers. What he sees is a serious and brutal attack via the very officers who were training him. Because of what he witnessed to buy his silence he is rewarded with a fast tracked promotion to detective. His father was also in the force and after Finn’s mother passes it becomes clear that she was the glue that held them together.
Fast forward four years and racial tensions are still running high between the police force and the public. A black police recruit is found dead, he was murdered this serves to ramp up the tension and under pressure to solve the case the police give the job to Finn concerned about optics and this is the case that will make or break Finn.
While Finn takes his role seriously what he does not bank on is that as he is getting closer solving the case the more the guilty want to stop him.
All hell breaks out and when a damming piece of evidence turns up he has to decide to either bury the evidence or go ahead with it even though it could mean the end of the career he so loves….
