A Case of Rape

From the acclaimed author of the Harlem Detectives series, a brilliant, short novel about four black men in Paris wrongfully convicted of raping and murdering a white woman In spare, dispassionate prose with all the austerity of a deposition, About three hours later a French couple witnessed the four men attempting to push her out the window, and some time after that, she was found dead. The eventual trial was summary. Its verdict was indeed a foregone conclusion. But was it true? A riveting mystery but also a mordant critique of racism and sexism, <A Case of Rape< is the fable-like story of doomed love and justice.
