    About this ebook

    When a bigoted veteran Minneapolis police officer is caught on video in a racist rant while violently arresting a black suspect, it sets off a series of reactions in a city still simmering from racial tensions and questionable incidents involving police. Officer Scott Gibson is the lightning rod that draws a storm of media attention after he is recorded beating a black patron in King Rat’s, an exclusively black bar a short distance from the police precinct headquarters.
    But appearances may not be reality when a 6’6” massive black regular in King Rat’s, Deon Freeman, rescues Gibson from a vicious assault and the two form a mystifying and unique bond.
    Tensions should be further inflamed as soon as Scott encounters Janine White, an equally bigoted, outspoken black rights activist. However, the two polarized antagonists find they have more in common than they could have imagined, thanks to the guidance of Gibson’s new black friends, the Freemans.
    Can a quarter century of bad blood and black/white enmity be overcome when White spearheads a protest event, piloted by a long-time activist and former lover of Janine White’s, while Gibson faces a public fight for his reputation and career? There is much more to the overt countenance of White, Gibson, the Minneapolis Police Department and city of Minneapolis than is told by a sequence of racial conflicts.
    It will be up to Scott, Janine and the Freemans to forge a path of reconciliation and reconstruction and up to White and Gibson to come to grips with their personal differences and similarities.
    Part romance, part social commentary, this book is an exploration of the complexities and baseness of prejudice and prejudgment.

    Robert Lee

    Bob sold his first short stories to Young Ambassador and Omni magazines when he was twelve. For nearly forty years, he only wrote fiction works and poetry for friends, until he was convinced by them that his writing was very compelling.Bob Lee’s career kept him focused on business communications for much of that period. He wrote and produced a series of training videos for Loss Prevention Group Inc, wrote hundreds of business plans, feasibility studies and market analyses, along with scores of training manuals, handbooks and guides for his clients.He is the author of more than two hundred and fifty blog posts, white papers and articles for national and international clients. His own blogs have a viewership exceeding 353,000.His freelance works include radio pieces for CBC (Now or Never and Definitely Not The Opera)and Corus Entertainment.Since 2011, he has written and published seventeen books under his name (www.robertflee.com) and ghostwritten eight more books and novels in a variety of genres.His career in business support services and as a private investigator have provided him with a rich source of material from which to draw inspiration. Many of the people who he encountered were so noteworthy as to be featured in his non-fiction works such as Wild People I Have Known and What We Have Lost.Few writers can match the engaging writing style of Robert Lee. His minimalist method of enticing mental images from a single phrase, or urging complex emotion from a few sentences drives action throughout his works. Yet, Robert can draw us meticulously and inexorably through the most detailed or complex scenarios, while captivating us with each word.Whether you are absorbed in the convoluted mental struggles of Lawrence Mason (Inferno Inside), the unworldly twists and turns of the Sentinels (Council of the Pure),the ethereal adventures of the nymphs and sprites (Gypsy Lee’s Fairy Tales, Fables & Yarns), or the heart and tragedy of true life anecdotes about murders and rapists(Wild Animals People I Have Known), you will bond intimately with each of Lee’s characters.Fiction or non-fiction, Robert Lee brings you immense and unique reading experiences that will compel you to call for more of his works.
