Welcome to Litsy!

It�s July, 1975, and an overworked Chicago police force receives a report that an 85 year old white man was attacked and killed by a gang of black youths in bucolic Burnham Park. Amid public outrage, Mayor Richard J. Daley commands the police to find the killers fast and make the park safe again. Fortunately for the police, James Oversteet, a brave twelve-year-old boy, steps forward and identifies five of the six assailants and arrests are made. But the detectives bungle the case leaving the judge no choice but to release the accused. This startling turn of events jeopardizes the young witness�s life, forces the Overstreet family into witness protection, and creates a nightmare that will haunt James forever. Fast forward thirty years. The young man is now Maricopa County�s most feared prosecutor. But his life is about to be turned upside down when paths from the past cross into the present, veering toward a shocking climax. In the end, will justice be served or will revenge prevail?
