A sweeping tale of old loves and festering hatreds, this story will plunge you into the glittering world of the Harlem Renaissance, from the wealthy salons of its movers and shakers to the crowded tenements of its poor.

Now, he's back, drawn home by the news of his sister's suicide. The deeper he probes into Lilian's death, the more he risks revelations of his own dark secret one that could destroy him or redeem him.
