What happens to a dream deferred--especially when an innocent man's life hangs in the balance? Langston Brown is running out of time and options for clearing his name and escaping death row. Wrongfully convicted of the gruesome Mother's Day Massacre, he prepares to face his death. His final hope for salvation lies with his daughter, Liza, an artist who dreamed of a life of music and song but left the prestigious Juilliard School to pursue a law degree with the intention of clearing her father's name. Just as she nears success, it's announced that Langston will be put to death in thirty days. In a desperate bid to find freedom for her father, Liza enlists the help of Eli Stone, a jazz club owner she met at the classic Five Points venue, The Roz. Devastated by the tragic loss of his wife, Eli is trying to find solace by reviving the club...while also wrestling with the longing to join her in death. Everyone has a dream that might come true--but as the dark shadows of the past converge, could Langston, Eli, and Liza be facing a danger that could shatter those dreams forever? 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Death row inmates $v Fiction. 650 0 $a False imprisonment $v Fiction. 941 $a 9 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032312.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011950.0 952 $l KIPA631 $d 20221220153309.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221213010439.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220507010227.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20220402012820.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20220329021959.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220202011301.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211218010204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=284899AA5FD011ECBC33B4E02DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
