"Incredible and searing." --Nic Stone, renowned author of Dear Martin and a New York Times #1 bestselling author. A powerful combination of The Hate U Give and Just Mercy, this remarkable debut novel delves into the deeply rooted racial injustices prevalent in the American justice system. Tracy Beaumont, a seventeen-year-old, writes heartfelt letters every week to Innocence X, an organization devoted to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals, seeking their help for her father who is an innocent Black man currently on death row. With only 267 days remaining before the harrowing execution, Tracy's plea becomes increasingly urgent. However, a shocking turn of events unfolds that forever alters her life. In the dead of night, the police arrive and suddenly Tracy's older brother, Jamal, transitions from being a promising track star to a fugitive labeled as a "thug", accused of a white girl's murder. Driven by an unwavering determination to save her brother, Tracy embarks on an investigation to uncover the truth about what truly transpired between Jamal and Angela at the Pike. But as she delves deeper, she unearths the dark secrets deeply entrenched in her Texas town's history of racism that continue to haunt its present. This thought-provoking and gripping debut novel is a must-read for fans of acclaimed authors such as Nic Stone, Tiffany D. Jackson, and Jason Reynolds.
