Now, with his career, reputation and freedom on the line, he embarks on a quest for redemption that forces him to confront his fears and biases and choose between conscience or silence.Jade Wakefield is an emotionally damaged college student living in one of Philadelphia's worst neighborhoods. She knows the chances of getting an indictment against the cop who killed her brother are slim. When she learns there's more to the story than the official police account, Jade is determined, even desperate, to find out what really happened. She plans to get revenge by any means necessary.Kelly Randolph, who returns to Philadelphia broke and broken after abandoning his family ten years earlier, seeks forgiveness while mourning the death of his son. But after he's thrust into the spotlight as the face of the protest movement, his disavowed criminal past resurfaces and threatens to derail the family's pursuit of justice.Ryan, Jade, and Kelly-three people from different worlds--are on a collision course after the shooting, as their lives interconnect and then spiral into chaos.

This was a book I received directly from the author and I am so happy I did as it was such a great story. This is so relevant to our news cycle and the author Stephen Clark gave us a very real glimpse from multiple POV‘s about what happens when a white cop kills a black man in traffic stop that goes extremely wrong.

This is a very topical tale of young black men being shot by police in America arbitrarily. I cannot imagine the intense emotions and fear this must cause. It highlights too, the #BlackLivesMatter movement and how high emotions run as people see the injustices happening in everyday life.

Hands Up is a gripping tale, full of emotions, great realistic characters and story with heartbreak, love and a twist or two. I can thoroughly recommend it.
