In Don’t Shoot, a thrilling novel about the meaning of race in society, police shootings claim the lives of two victims, one white and one black, in the city of Chicago. Swift justice is handed down on behalf on the white victim. Soon, the media begins to assassinate the character of the black man, and it isn’t long before the public is readily believing and defending the officer’s story. In response to the lack of justice, protests and riots erupt across the city. Will justice be served, or will yet another citizen die in vain? Don’t Shoot explores these incidents and their aftermath, spotlighting the corrupt political machine, injustice, and segregation that persist in the city today.
