A Crime of Hate and Race.
A coming-of age story and a classic murder mystery, A Hollow Cup begins in a small town in the southern United States in the 1960s. New Hope is in turmoil when a beautiful girl, an enthusiastic participant in the local civil rights movement, is killed after a demonstration on the College campus. This “race murder” goes unsolved for twenty-five years until two men – friends and rivals as children – return to their hometown to prosecute and defend the man who’s finally been charged. The past catches up with them as old secrets are revealed and old passions re-ignited, and the mystery is finally explained.
*****
“Black separatist movements, the politics and educational impact of various social and racial programs, opportunities to divide or unite, and threats to the status quo all collide . . . Readers who appreciate blends of legal process and social issues, especially novels about racism's lasting impact on individuals and communities, will relish this book’s hard-hitting attention to two lives changed by an investigation into past events.”—Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
