Betrayal in Black

Pulled over in America? When you’re white, you might get a ticket. When you’re black, you might end up dead. In a fictional Michigan town, a man is pulled over by the local police. The driver wonders: What did I do wrong? The officer asks for I.D.; the driver casually mentions he legally carries a gun. The officer panics-confusion reigns-shots ring out-an innocent man lays bleeding to death and the incident is captured on video. The shooting becomes the national headline-the dead man is black-the shooter is white. A community is thrown into chaos. Protestors on both sides of the racial divide take to the streets. A widow struggles to make sense of senseless tragedy. She turns to high-profile trial lawyer, Zachary Blake. Together, they dare to fight city hall. Will police lie to protect the status quo? Small Great Things meets The Hate U Give in Mark M. Bello’s explosive new social justice legal thriller, Betrayal in Black.
