Synopsis

Jeb, a boy, narrates a story set in the rocking and rolling 1950s Atlanta. His father, Hank McKnight, a combat veteran and lawyer took on the case of a poor black woman, Ida Mae Reivers, imprisoned at age nineteen for homicide. A good outcome seemed impossible. Hank’s unlikely team had to fight a wider battle in the street with murder in the mix. Comments from readers: “Mayhem up the street from my home, not a typical Buckhead story.” C.E. ATLANTA “I laughed...contains one of my all time favorite lines.” M. H. GREENWICH, CT “I thought I could be Ida Mae. A thriller I couldn’t put it down.” E. I. JACKSONVILLE, FL “Interesting, funny, suspenseful.” K.W. SURREY, ENGLAND “Great story.” R.M. SANTA BARBARA, CA

À propos de l'auteur

T. K. Calhoun is a native Atlantan and fifth generation Georgian. Sheriff Herbert Jenkins A.P.D. praised T.K. as “the bravest boy he ever met." Otherwise he had a normal life.

At Mr. Jefferson’s University of Virginia he retired from football after his third concussion. He consoled himself at the P.K.

T.K.’s red-clay heart is a blend pride and angst, Sunday school and scotch – all the symptoms of a southern author – now Atlanta Jeb...
