Kneeling on a Black mans neck, a white policeman murders a prisoner in handcuffs. However, the 1,518 judicial executions since 1976 are just as racist as Blacks killed by cops. Blacks make up 13 percent of Americans but 34 percent of U.S. executions. The author based this what if? novel on the factual history of California executions and the states ongoing moral struggle with capital punishment. A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter races to uncover a secret construction project at Californias San Quentin. Reporter Garrett Covington tries to unravel this mysterious Project Q, while probing the psyche of a serial killer and seeking evidence to free an innocent man on death row.
