Description

Closing the door doesn't always keep you safe...

Laura Elizabeth Clark saw herself as a peacemaker. Until the day she went against her parents' wishes and married Harry Kendall, a brilliant history professor who happens to be black.

But happily-ever-after goes horribly wrong one night when an intruder forces his way into their bedroom and commits an unthinkable crime. The police say it was a random act of violence, but Harry will never forget those words whispered in the darkness: "White show more should stay with white."

Seeking justice means confronting a group of white supremacists--the Ivory Nation--with its hush-hush ties to political power. Suddenly, opening the door on truth could threaten not just Harry and Laura's love, but their lives...

Laura and Harry Kendall are a happily married interracial couple. Until one night of terror shatters their happiness. Twp men invade their home and make it clear that the incident is racially motivated. An act that helps to fuel the argument from her conservative parents on the subject of marrying a black man. Laura is in denial that this was not a random incident. Harry sees the reality in front of him and vows to bring the two men to justice no matter what the cost. Even if that cost is his own life. Harry's obsession and the emotional backlash of such an incident keeps pulling Laura and Harry farther apart. Harry sends Laura to her parents to keep her safe. They may have never approved of him but they all can agree on Laura's safety. show more Detective Daniel Boyd, a man faced with his own demons, is determined to close the case. Together Harry and Daniel fit together the puzzle pieces. Pieces that bring them closer to the Ivory Nation, a white supremacist group. One that Laura's parents may actually be linked to.

Remarkably written. Exquisitely captures the stark reality of power and fear driven hate that is still very much alive. Brings to light the deep emotion of an individual who is going through such events. Fast paced page turner that will keep you on edge trying to put the whole puzzle together. You will not want to put this book down.
