One tragic death. Two bullets. Seven eyewitnesses, and seven completely different stories. When sixteen-year-old Tariq Johnson is shot and killed in his own neighborhood, his community is instantly thrown into chaos. Tariq was Black. The shooter, Jack Franklin, is white. In the devastating aftermath, everyone has something to say about what happened, but no two accounts line up. As days pass, new twists and conflicting perspectives only further obscure the truth. Who is lying, and who is telling the truth? Tariq's friends, family, and neighbors are left struggling to make sense of the tragedy and cope with the massive hole left in their lives. Told through multiple gripping viewpoints, this powerful and thought-provoking novel explores race, justice, and the heavy burden of grief. Listen to the voices of a fractured community as they desperately grapple for a way to say with certainty how it all went down.
