Amara Mackelroy, a young, college educated African American is the protagonist. Amara is inquisitive to the point of causing herself and others around her to get threatened or harmed. The antagonist, Ralph Simpson is a conflicted individual who has taken it upon himself to relieve the west coast of people he’s deemed are unnecessary and a menace to our society. He believes the only way to relieve our society of these vermin as he affectionately calls them is to kill them. The story has many twists and turns. The message or main point of the story is no one is above the law or has the right to decide who lives or dies. Love prevails against hate and the world is not always so black and white, right or wrong. The setting takes place in Seattle. The style of writing is simple, sometimes colloquial and humorous. The tone throughout the story is mysterious. You discover who one murderer is, but then the reader discovers there’s others who perpetuate his quest by providing money and assistance. Also, another killer evolves as the reader follow Amara as she doggedly uncovers clues and helps expose the second killer. The plot is filled with background information about the setting, situation and characters. The first conflict causes other problems to arise. In the end, the killers are identified and ulterior motives by minor characters are exposed. | en_US |
