| Summary/Abstract |
Born in the 'agrarian ghetto' of Dickens on the outskirts of LA, the narrator is brought up to believe his father's racially charged psychological studies will lead to a memoir that will solve their financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, all that's left is the bill for a drive-through funeral. Fuelled by this deceit, the narrator sets out to right another wrong. Dickens has literally been wiped off the map to save LA from embarrassment, so he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregation, which lands him in the Supreme Court.

This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, and his past he never thought much about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
